Default underdrive pulleys

I know this has been asked before, but I didn't have success finding info in the search...

Does anyone make underdrive pulleys that work on our cars? Are the m50/m52 ones compatible? I'm starting to check realoem to cross reference part #'s but not having much luck.

I have a friend with a spare m50 in his garage, I'm going to head over there and compare/possibly swap pulleys to see if they fit. If so, then I'll try to get m50 underdrive pulleys. I don't have any way of testing the performance increase, I don't know how well tuned the butt dyno is for something like this. I'm convinced that this should be good for at least a few hp though. I'll keep everyone posted on my progress.
