FAQ
Which balancer spacing should I choose?
Select the spacing that matches the balancer already on the engine: Corvette/CTS-V/SS/G8, 1998 to 2002 Camaro/Firebird/GTO, or Truck/SUV/2010 to 2015 Camaro. Each spacing also calls for the matching GM water pump listed in the notes.
Does this kit include the alternator or power steering pump?
No. The kit is the brackets, pulleys, tensioner, and idlers. The alternator and power steering pump are sold separately.
Do I need a new water pump or balancer?
No. The BEAST conversion reuses the OEM water pump and balancer, as long as the water pump matches the selected spacing.
Which power steering pumps does it support?
The power steering choice covers a GM Type II pump with remote reservoir, a GM Type II pump with attached plastic reservoir, a GM Saginaw pump, or a Hydroboost pump with remote or attached reservoir. The pump itself is not included.
