    starting with bare block

     



    I have been building this 454 for a while, and have a few previous treads on here. Thanks for all your advice. I am at the point where I need to put brackets and pulleys on, ( which I don't have yet). My question is " is there a place that sells everything I need for brackets and pulleys or do I need to buy a piece at a time when I find them".

    There is, though not always the cheapest option, for billet try March Performance, Billet Specialties, Rocky Mountain Hinge Company, Parr Automotive and Vintage Air (most being serpentine except Parr). For steel vee pulleys and brackets try Speedway motors and always go to Alan Grove as he can get everyone fixed up, there are others but those come to mind Best of Luck Matthyj

    Tom,
    The third one in Matthyj's list is "Rocky Hinge Company" - no Mountain. They're a small family operation that started with dad Rocky making hinges for street rods, and then son Brad graduated from engineering school and joined dad & mom in the business. They are great people, and for my SBF they were a BUNCH cheaper than the next closest guys out there, and their front drive packages are top notch. If you have any problems Brad is a phone call away, and he knows his business. If the SBC that I got in my project deal wasn't already pretty much complete I wouldn't hesitate calling Rocky Hinge again. In fact, I need to call them and order a trunk lid support one of these days.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
