Cross the Gaterback belt PN, they can be had for 35 or so from ricerzone. this is a 10 rib belt, you can

A, Cut it in half with a razor\shears.
Or
B, match it up to the closest 5 rib you find.

Chris is correct. If you are runing the stock size pulley this is what you need to do. If you are running a smaller pulley see the thread linked below.

My belt had about 30,000km on it and it was almost falling apart that is why I was in such a panic to get the new belt on there asap.

Here is a link to my post

Hope that helps you out some. I'm running the stock pulley as well.

ive ran the stock gm s/c 2.8" belt with the 2.5 with NO SLIPPING

Yeah the belt isn't that expensive, like $50 tops.

The belt I posted for the 2.5 is nice because it fits snug, is readily available, and is a 5 rib. I hated having a cut up10 rib. It just seemed really half assed like a hack job to me. Also a thin strip of the edge came loose and beat up my otherwise perfect hood liner.
