Default BB brackets and pullies

Getting closer to finishing the 454 stroker project. Today I seek sources for pullies and brackets. the car has a/c; will not be running a regular clutch/fan assembly. No power steering but hope to add it in the future. My first thought is to go down to the local NAPA shop. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Doubt if you'll find brackets and pulleys at NAPA. I got all mine, mainly the stuff to mount the stock A6 A/C compressor, from various Corvette suppliers. Aftermarket pulleys might be available from speed shop type vendors. Don't overlook the dealer. Sometimes their price and availability is the best.

Not necessarily the best source, but you will find the occasional piece on ebay for reasonable $$$. Check the used parts vendor tab on the forum too.

Thanks for the tips, guys. I'm off to Paragon and Eckler's, just to be safe. By the way, just got 15 inches of snow last night; should have never bought a white Vette...
