I believe they are all plastic. I have one from Summit in my car. It has a plastic pulley and it works flawlessly.

Yea, it's plastic just like the tensioner pulley.

I actually though about making one out of a tensioner pulley and some 1/8" sheet metal cut into a triangular piece like the !AC pulley setup. Can't see it not working, nut on the back of the sheet metal to bolt the pulley too and however many holes for the mounting to the bracket.

I got mine from summit, it had quite a bit of play in it but a few washers fixed that.

There's some on eBay last I looked, but if you're looking SPECIFICALLY for a 1LE one, you're asking quite a lot heh A 3rd Party recreation is a good bet though. After all, the LT1 has not been put into a 1LE vehicle for 12 years.
