Serpentine belt pulleys

Can I just buy the crank pulley off of a Discovery or something to use a serpentine belt? I found one on ebay for $45. I suppose I could find one for cheaper somewhere.

Here's a pic. The center hole looks all wrong. Like it's too big. Anybody?

I think this is wrong. I found a pic with a ruler along the side of it. It looks just like this one. That means the center hole is 2 3/4" dia. WAY too big. I measured my Buick 300 balancer and it measured 2 1/8". Big difference. Does anybody know any details? Like balancer differences vs. year. It sounds like the 4.2L drive pulley is the best bet.

You might look at the V6 systems.

Yeah… I like the idea, Jim. I'll see what I can find out.
