Price = Salty!!! Cust. service = good, Tech guy = Excellent!!! I just used a set on a 429 conversion I am doing, the fit and finish were excellent, all the brackets, bolts, spacers, etc are there in the kit. I ordered a A/C compressor from them and the OL accidently ordered the wrong one, since I was in the area I stopped by their facility and they swapped it right out, and the tech guy came over answered some questions and even went upstairs to get the dummy block with all the brackets in place so I could see where the idler and all was set-up at as the idler pulley (on A/C kits) wasnt shown real well in the diagram. You will need to change the PS pump over to a saginaw style pump (I used one spec'd for a 75 Camaro with the press fit pulley to match the kit) The only other issue I had was the AC mounted over the PS where it was difficult to check the PS level. I hooked the AC support bracket up differently than they had in the diagram (I used the boss on the lower radiator hose spigot) and used a slightly longer belt, and wa-la!! AC is on, PS can be checked, and it does look good!! Only other issue I noticed was that the bolt for the alternator to the head that comes in the kit is a 3/8 bolt, if your heads use the 7/16 bolt, you will need to get a longer bolt and drill out the bracket and spacer to accomodate the larger bolt. Took me all of 5 mins to do it
