Trying to find a replacement for the crank pulley for my 5.7. Despite all of my carful storage it seems to have walked away. I'd love to replace it with a nicer pulley but not sure on the spacing needed since i don't have the original part! Anyone replaced theirs with a newer one?

Assuming V belt right?
Have a serial number of the motor, or at least a year?
How many V's did it have, 1 to 3?

AllDodge sorry totally forgot the details... rookie mistake. Originally it was a 5.7 built in 90' with the triple groove pulley. I recently switched it out for a newer vortec motor. It has the short water pump. Serial on the motor is 10243880 it's a 5.7 LG SGI

Ended up finding a guy on craigslist parting out a motor that still had the pulleys and other accessories. $30 later and I was able to get a direct match up pulley along with a number of other odds and ends. I did try a few pulleys from amazon that stated they were for SBC but they didn't line up properly with the water pump pulley.
