I powdercoated my pulleys and accessory brackets super chrome with sparkle, I should have just bought new ones that were chromed out. My new block and (especially) the alum heads and the OE brackets didn't really want to line up like the OE 350. In fact I can't get the power steering pump res cap off without doing a bit of removal to the alt bracket. So, in the end I could have spent the money and went aftermarket on the brackets. Not a big deal but something I learned in my process. Eventually I'll get some brackets that work better than the powder coated stock ones, but it works for now. The pulleys came out nice though and they don't have any belt noise.
I started out like ossw1 and tried to avoid the bling, but I got sucked in eventually, mainly from looking at other new engines on here and started adding some chrome, now I can't stopBig%20smile.
