Looking good!
Get rid of that factory plastic P/S pulley and get a billet piece from Turn One.
The plastic units crack and come loose, plus the Turn One piece looks really good.

Already in the plans, lol. It looks extra crappy now that I've redone so much of the engine bay.

I didn't want to be rude but yes, yes it does lol.
I love that you have so much room, big power is only a T4/T6 adapter and S476R away.

I did that on purpose, I knew I'd eventually want more power and standing up the radiator (even though it wasn't required for the kit) was in the plans from the start.

I have a f-body 6 rib Turn 1 billet p/s pulley I'm not using anymore. I'm in GR area as well if you want it, let me know.

Oh, I'll build a full on race car ( still street driven ) eventually, but for now I want some of those creature comforts, lol. My Firebird is going to feel primitive enough after all the bells and whistles my SS has!
