the Pantera. >>

Mine have been on our car for nearly 8 yrs but I made them of 6061 aluminum. 
Some aftermarket pullies are apparently made of cast aluminum, then machined, 
and one cast crank pulley broke on a car coming home from 'Vegas one year.... 
March Industries makes aluminum pullies for a Cleveland, some with extra 
grooves- good for relocating the alternator backward & making space for a flat 
firewall, but don't know anything about the metals they use. You could ask them. 
Good luck- J DeRyke
