Did you make sure they understood that this was an LS car and not a 3.8?

i contacted them a while back like a month ago. and yes.. i told them i had a 2006 impala ss and that it was powered by a LS4 and that they currently didnt offer anything for it but that i could try the one for a V6 camaro and also later on got an email stating they offered one for a LSX swap for older model .heres the email i got from them . hope this helps.

Jose,
We offer a single belt setup, however it is made for customers who are putting the LS blocks in older vehicles. I have never sold it for a later model vehicle that the LS block came factory in. I have no idea about the fitment on that vehicle and what is involved on getting it to work with your factory computer and wiring system. You can take a look at the kit at the link below.
Thank You,

I saw some v6 ones on ebay for 130. I'd just be worried about the crank snout diameter, spacing from the block, and stuff. Does anyone have pictures/measurements of ours?

The LS4 crank pulley is unique to that engine. None of the other LS pulleys will fit and line up with the accessories. It will require a custom made pulley. I have been trying to buy a stock one from GM and they have a price but say they are not available.

Camaro V6 3.4 or 3.8?.... I dont think it will work. There has never been an underdrive crank pulley for the 3.8 engines

has anyone tried to adapt a silverado or sierra alternator onto one of these engines to compensate for a UD pulley?


craftsmen also sells a belt tool for 30 bucks, comes with a 3 foot handle and extension with short sockets and crow foot sockets. its a breeze to change belts on my gtp now.
