Default Help identify this tensioner pulley?

I have a GM crate motor, an LS3 376, in my 1967 Nova and I'm having a hard time finding the part number. I'm hoping that this is the right place to ask other LS3 engine owners. It has a smooth pulley and is held on by one bolt. There is a number on the back, 2395264, but it doesn't match any part number.


I got the car with the crate motor already installed, and it has a March pulley set in it. The tension in those photos is the exact one I have.





I emailed March and they wrote back it was a Dayco 89338, but that is clearly not the same as it has 2 bolts and the pulley is ribbed.


I emailed Dayco and sent them pictures of the pulley but I'm still waiting to hear back from them. The closest pulley I have found was this
AC Delco12595289 AC Delco12595289
. It's close, but it's not an exact match.



Does anyone have an idea of what my pulley part number could be? I've taken it to Autozone and O'Reilly's and neither could match it to anything.

The one in the March pulley set photo looks like a Dayco 89233. Just like yours, minus the plate on the pulley.

Thank you! That's the part. Just confirmed with Dayco and March also.
