So Im switching my 468 chevelle from shortpump to longpump.
Just pulled the part number for my other long pump I got with the crate motor.
ACdelco #12484890. Thing was 112 bucks(cheapest price)at rockauto.
Then cancelled that,and ordered the gates HP one #44027P for 42.79.Both have the same mounting points(a small tab.with threaded hole)for the alt mount.
Im thinking Im just as good,or better off with the gates ones.Ive used them in the past with zero problems,and I know acdelco quality has suffered in the past few years.
What say you?

Its a gates swp,lol.The lwp number I snatched came off of my gen6 crate motor.I know mostly all acdelco stuff is farmed out to china now also.Its why I usually buy OPPs,lol.
