just the numbers scribed into the metal...The BOM for the kit (22053) doesn't list individual parts numbers that I can see

That works, but I don't think you will be able to read them with it being assembled, I'll run the kit number, or ask CStech line at March

Now that is purty... makes me think about getting one. Instead, I am going powder coat the one I am buying from you.

Trust me Jeff- if you had to buy this and the alternator, power steering pump pulley and A/C compressor it's a LOT more...LOL

IM thinking of pickin up a set like that. MInes an older 1981 454. Going to stck with the Vbelt setup... I guess i figure about 350 bucks for the full setup for the vbelt. Sound about right? Yours put you back 600 or more??? I love that setup.. dang pretty.

Over 6 because I had to buy another alternator and power steering pump to keep the serpentine system in tact. I also swapped water pumps and ordered the nose cover for the power steering pump which doesn't come with the kit.

Your truck build looks awesome!!!!
Your pulley set up is the same one I used on my motor, there is no way that powdercoating or paint will ever look as good...I have not put my power steering pulley cover on yet , I had a hard time with the pump fitting on there had to do some grinding.

I'm really happy with the look of it. I question the belts that they spec'd for it though....they were a little short for the setup and Jarros44 will tell you that I was out here having a fit for a while trying to get them on. I think I'll try the new board vendor that does powdercoating to get the intake powdercoated close to the finish on the pullies.

Nice build you have there. So whats the scoop on the 67-68 cowl hoods. Production was stoped for a period and the one I purchased was not the best for fit. I was wondering if yours have a positve fit. You should produce a cowl hood like the one in the Carter Hickman rendering. That is sleeker with the longer sloping cowl. I have my debit card waiting as soon as you have the first one available. Good luck with your build. Just to say I didn't know about you when I purchased my hood or I surely would have spent my dime with you instead. Look forward to doing business with you in the future. If you would like I will send you a free window tint kit for your truck if you decide to tint the glass. Scott A Speedy Tint Inc. www.aspeedytint.com

As I have gotten older my patience runs thin alot quicker than it did when I was young.
I left my manifold the way it came I thought about powder coating it but I decided against it.

Yes, I did change the pump. One good thing about GM is that the bolt patterns are different on the two different pumps (the pulley pattern) so as hard as I tried I couldn't get the pulley onto the original one- then the light came on and I swapped pumps.
