"notched" serpentine belt and pully conversion?

Hello,
Anyone know of a "conversion kit" for a 4.0 L to go from a ribbed belt to notched setup - like ya see on blowers at the drag strip.

Thanks,
Test4echoman.

Ummmmm.....
Why? The OEM style belts will last for a long, long lime.

Ribbed belts aren't doing anything for performance, fuel economy, or appearance.

Why bother?

I haven't seen anything. Probably because there isn't any power accessories that would require such a setup.

Does anyone know if I would be able to direct bolt on a sepentine belt pully system on my 86 xj from a 4.0. It has the 2.5L v-belt drive system on it now and my p.s pump bracket broke and cant find one anywhere here in sacramento. Or anywhere I can find another stock bracket? Thanks in advance.
