Default Pulley kit?

Just wondering if installing a pulley kit if complicated or if I can just unbolt the stock ones and put in the new ones. ?

Pretty simple swap. Make sure to get the right length belt, too.

With a Power & Amp series set you will likely need an impact gun to remove the alt pulley retainer nut.

A untrained Monkey could do it. just losen the bolts with the belt ON, b/c it will aid in breaking the bolts lose. the Alt pulley take it to Autozone or NAPA. You need an impact. zip off, zip on. other than that, it's A, B,C .....123..... I don't even reccomend doing it. I had the TPIS 3pc pulley kit... What did it do....I don't know. nothing for all i know. I put my stock stuff back on. I rather put the $140 to head work, LT1 manifold, Computers, etc.... don't bother with it. If you have that much money... give me some!

Thanks for the reply guys...

by the way, I don't have any money, I'm poor, broke... I think that 53 inch sony Tv I baught 2 weeks ago has something to do with it :D

I'm really Interested in having my heads ported... how much would a good porting job be? just curious

Working your #113 heads would cost a few hundred $$:
-get a copy of David Vizard's book on building a SBC
-get the Standard Abrasive's porting kit
-get a Sears high speed grinder & speed reducer
-install 2.00"/1.55" SS valves
-have the heads skim cut & a 3-angle valve job
-install 7/16" studs & 1.6:1 full RRs. with hardened guides & push rods and Ti retainers.

So pocket porting is just one part of working the heads, but is worth around 25-30chp.
