For years, the alternator has been the forgotten stepchild of the engine bay. A purely functional component often overlooked when it comes to style.
Proform, known for its popular Slant-Edge line of dress-up parts, is changing that. Huge thanks to their new slant-edge alternators for Chevrolet engines. These aren’t just replacements; they’re designed to be a visual focal point. They also displayed these alternators during the 2024 SEMA and PRI shows.
If you’ve already invested in Proform’s slant-edge valve covers, air cleaner, or breather caps, these new slant-edge alternators are the perfect complement.
They feature the same distinctive angled design and a bold, 3D Bowtie emblem, creating a unified and stylish look under the hood. And the choices! Proform offers a staggering eleven different finishes and logo combinations.
Whether you’re after a classic polished look, a rugged black crinkle, or a pop of color with Chevy Orange or Red, there’s an option to match your build. The Bowtie emblem itself comes in raised and machined versions or hand-painted recessed styles in black or red.
But these alternators aren’t all about looks. They’re built to perform based on the reliable GM 10si, 12-volt platform. They fit both Small-Block and Big-Block Chevy V8s, delivering 100 amps of power.
The external fan and 2.5-inch V-belt pulley ensure proper cooling, and the one-wire hook-up with an internal regulator simplifies installation. Proform even includes the pulley, so you’re ready to go once you purchase it.
As an officially licensed Chevrolet Performance Parts product, you can be confident in the quality and fitment. It’s clear Proform has put serious thought into making the alternator a true dress-up component without sacrificing any of its essential functions. They had it completely redesigned so that it is a dress-up part.
Proform is now shipping all variations of the slant-edge alternator. It now gives Chevrolet enthusiasts a new way to personalize and enhance their engine bays. With this new product release, Proform offers a welcome change for a part often ignored, proving that even functional components can contribute to a show-stopping look.
