Default Serp Belt
:mad Why does the darn serp belt for MY 92 lt1 have to be $50. What a rip off. Had to go to the dealer to get one. The regular auto stores only sell belts with ridges on one side. :mad

On the brighter side--How often do you need one???

Corvette parts are always more money than comparable parts for other cars.

Well, you could always convert over to the single ribbed side. Might run you $100 to convert, but then you could go to the local auto parts store and pick one up for $25. :lol: :jester

I had Wheels Works put one in for me. They charged me 81.00 plus 45.00 for installing it. :U
