    The ZZ-5 crate motor is a great combination, and comes pretty well complete except for carb. Serpentine belts are pretty and work well, but the expense isn't worth it to me. If you're going for a "dressed up" engine with a lot of bling, you can get polished aluminum or chrome pulleys for much less. If you just want a nice clean motor, painted steel pulleys and brackets look great. Put the extra cost of the serpentine system into a better motor.
