Looks like the March stuff. I know they probably work fine but has anyone ever thought of, like, advancing the looks a little? I mean I'm sorry but Boyd Coddington called and wants his pulley set back.

I got a set, including the alt bracket.

had some hiccups, like the crank pulley spacer they sell didn't exactly work with my summit balancer, so I had to modify it. got the wrong crank pulley with the first shipment, but he made it right extremely fast. and lastly, the adjustable rod that came with the alt pulley kit was too short for my application, I just ordered a second longer one to replace it, as I'm understanding of the fact that not one size fits all in car building.

overall, i like the finish/quality, Nate was helpful and freindly thru everything, and while I would have liked more options in how they look, they fit the bill for a value priced aluminum pulley set for me.

Bought the kit for my 393C stroker. Nice stuff. I made a mistake with the P/s pump as they only support saginaw pumps which was good for me as I bought the reduced pressure Borgenson. Problem was the pully in the kit was for a 11/16 press on pully and my Borgeson was 5/8 keyed. Called them up and they sent me a correct pully right away and I sent the other back a few days later. Nice.

I bought a set as well and am going to put them on my new motor this month. I like the looks of them!

I purchased the alternator bracket kit, the 351w pulley set, and the spacer. The quality is very good. I ran into the same issue with the summit dampener but it was easily resolved by grinding off a bit of the lip so it sat flush. It's not like anyone will see it wedged in between...

Here are a few pictures of the new build ready for installation.

I almost just ground the lip off, but I was concerned about the lack of centering if I did that, so I made my drill into a lathe and turned it down till it fit inside the balancer like intended. Probably didn't matter either way, but I wanted to be sure not to introduce any vibration if possible.
