Keep every belt-driven engine accessory turning with the Gates Automotive XL High Capacity V-Belt 7603, a durable replacement drive belt built for the most demanding engine drives. It's a direct-fit replacement across a long list of classic applications, including the 1959-1961 Chevrolet Impala [V8-5.7L] and 1970-1971 Dodge Charger [V8-6.3L] — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications.

This HC41 notched V-belt uses a variable notched design: as engine heat builds, it tightens on the drive to help resist slippage, improve belt performance and reduce noise.

  • Fiber-loaded EPDM rubber stock: adds flexibility along the length of the belt and provides greater lateral stability in the pulley.
  • Form-ground profile: precise top width and sidewall dimensional control for a proper fit to the pulley.
  • Thermally-active polyester tensile cords: maintenance-free performance when properly installed and tensioned.
  • Built to endure: resists oil, heat, ozone, weather and aging for improved belt life, and meets or exceeds SAE J636C specifications.

It measures a .41 in (10 mm) top width with a 60 in (1524 mm) effective length and a 60.81 in (1544.5 mm) outside circumference. Made in the United States. Quantity per application varies — some listed vehicles use one belt and others use two, so check your engine's requirement; belts are sold individually.
