Project StinkRay "$"
If you've been keeping up with project StinkRay, you know that no cost is being spared on this C3 build up. Just look at the engine combo, tranny/converter setup, ignition and fuel system so far. So, If you had to guess, What would you say the current $ amount is? It's already out my league. But I'm still looking for some ideas from the build up.

They mention prices on a lot of parts but I don't think they mentioned the price for the pulley kit. Were they trying to hide something?
The electronic Crane distributor looks good. Does anyone have any experience with them- MSD makes one as well but it's magnetically triggered vs optical for the Crane.

I bought the Serpentine kit from the GM Performance Catalog (my kit included a PS pump, a new alternator, a cast iron long reverse rotation water pump.) This is for my ZZ4 which is going into my 1968 Convertible.
I bought the March underdrive pulleys that they make to fit the above factory stock serpentine kit. I bought a crank pulley (underdrive), an alternator pulley (slightly larger than stock pulley), a water pump pulley, and a PS pump pulley. These pulleys cost about $230. They're polished aluminum, powder painted with clear. Just look really nice. March claims that their underdrive crank pulley will give you an extra 12 (?) hp.
Also, I have replaced my GM cast iron water pump, long style, reverse rotation, with an aluminum reverse rotation, long, water pump from Edelbrock.
