LT1 Engine Dress Up?? Fellas,
As dumb as it may be, my 1994 Z28 pulleys have gotten rusty and nasty. I want to get her back to an acceptable looking engine bay.
Any good kits out there or individual pulleys to buy?
Thanks!

Also relocate the alternator if at all possible for you. It cleans it up a lot. Other things to think about are the Speed Inc fuel line relocation kit and possibly a wire tuck...

You can just remove the pulleys and paint or powder coat them. Or you can do a speed inc pulley setup and an ati serpentine dampner (not a bolt on underdrive pulley!) it depends on how much your looking to spend if your going for looks from a performance aspect or just to make the engine bay look not "run down". I believe people make aftermarket pulley set ups like a march industries set up, don't know if they make them for lt1s though. Some other pulley places are MBA (out of business) and ASP but I believe the ASPs are all undriven or overdriven. MBA makes nice stuff you can find it used and on eBay sometimes.

Do your's look as bad as mine did? I replaced everything but if you could do what everyone else is suggesting and powdercoat your pulleys.

+1 on the el Cheapo powdercoating rig. Harbor Freight has one for like 80 bucks that works OK for small stuff. Send the wife out shopping, powdercoat the stuff and bake it in her oven. The smell goes away in a week or two.
Until then I hope you like plastic tasting casseroles. Tell her it must be something she put in the food like a weird spice or something.
