The word "billet" is one of the latest sales buzzzzz words to get you to by things. It just means that this item has been machined from a solid piece of material.

If you want to replace them to dress up the engine, then get something that will also benefit. I would suggest the March Under-drive three piece pulley set.

Check out page three in their catalog....

I agree with John. I am running the march pulley set and it came with the alt, crankshaft, and waterpump pulleys. pretty straight forward install too. You will have to go with a slightly shorter drive belt though annd I am not sure exactly what the size will be but the kit will tell you.

I would scout for used March pulleys Or Summit / Jegs scratch and dent. Save hard earned Money. They are great looking. Less rotational mass. But the C4 UN-fortunatly will not allow you to show off your pulleys. Like a traditional hood.

As a Semi driver I used to drive by the Atlanta and the Ohio Summit parts stores. Yes, of course I had to stop for a look see. They have a pretty large used/return/wrong part area that I would always check through. Always had some sorts of SB pullys on the racks there.

Well Dale, what's your objective?
Looks, weight, accessory speed?

March is the best bet for speed change sets.
Unless your going with the custom engine look.....
