FWIW when I was looking for blower belt alternatives some of the Brecoflex
belts looked good,
especially as they sell the pulleys too.

Plus their 'regular' timing belts can have Kevlar or steel reinforcement.

They claim 'Resistant to petroleum, oils, fuels, fats, ozone, and sunlight' and
temperature up to
240*.
To me the temp rating of 240* seems a little too low for automotive use...
