Engine Dressing

Today we received our new Tru Trac Serpentine Belt system from Billet Specialties.. The complete kit included most of the components we've needed for the engine. Its amazing what a dozen or so chrome parts can do for an engine.. Oooh! So Shiny!! :)

This is a picture of the Tru Trac system we purchased from Billet Specialties (through Doug Herbert).. I know.. Awesome right?

Opening the packages from Billet Specialties was better than Christmas! Way better.. New parts for the truck are so fun!

Here is a side view of the engine with the new components installed. Also you can see on top of the engine is our new Holley Street Avenger 770cfm carburetor we purchased from Ryan at Doug Herbert Performance Engines.

Here is Dad tightening the last bolts down on the engine.. This was a lot of fun.. See that smile? :)


This is the front left side of the engine.. The AC Compressor (top left), the serpentine belt tensioning pulley (bottom left), water pump and pulley (center right), and part of the crank shaft pulley (bottom right).


This is the right front side of the engine.. Here you can see the Alternator (top right), power steering pump and pulley (bottom right), and in the center of the engine is the water pump and pulley (bottom left of picture).


So here it is all finished!! All that was needed was to top off the carburetor with an Edelbrock air filter and Voila! Magnifico!
