Hi,

having a look around couldnt find much about getting a gilmer drive belt for an ls1?

really liked the sound of them on 5ls but just wondering if you can get them for a ls1?

thanks

i wanted to do the same, but got told everywhere thats its not good for the LS1's being an alloy block etc and the extra force on bearings is not good for the block.

How does that work? Arent these drives the same (or pretty much the same) as what's on a blower?

i cant realy remember correctly, it was an while ago i looked into it. found it wasnt realy ideal for daily use.
but maybe the op can prove me wrong?

I think that the way that the belt is run, that you can not use a gilmer belt.

Ahh ok, that makes sense. Guess the wide belt wouldn't like the idlers.
