How about gilmer pulleys? (Uses "tractor belts" with teeth). I've got =
two gilmers, one for my dry sump oil system, another for the alternator. =
Perfect alignment is required, but there's no slippage. IMHO, as good =
as serpentine.

Serpentine belts are to V-Belts pretty much what alternators are to =
generators IMO.
