Shines up pretty nicely after some elbow grease, brake cleaner, GM blue paint, and scrubbing. Not too many issues, but I did run into an issue with the accessory mounting. I got the clockwise water pump so I need to switch everything now to belt drive. No big deal since I didn't have an accessory solution for the mounting brackets or serpentine setup. The only thing that is really serpentine is the crank pulley.

V belt pulleys seem much less expensive like this kit from gearhead on ebay $229! It says its not for vortec engines though. I don't know if mine still counts as a vortec engine. Maybe the mount holes are different for the brackets?

I did notice there are a few serpentine setups that have two belts, but can't get info on those. I guess that idea would work.

Seems crazy expensive at $549 though
