I have been working on some parts for the front of the motor so I can tear it down all at once and replace everything on the front of the LT1 at the same time. I purchased a TURN-ONE power steering pump and a LT1 billet pulley. I had the power steering pump dis-assembled and powdercoated in LIBERTY-COPPER and had the pulley polished slightly to give it a nice smooth satin finish. The pump is suppose to be a little better for autocross and road race environment (maybe even 1/4 mile ??) It keeps the power steering pump slightly cooler and is suppose to be worth 2 or 3hp with the matching LT1 billet pulley. I also purchased a brand new LT1 timing cover and had it polished. I know alot of these component will not be entirely seen, but it seems ashame to not put the last little details into my engine bay before I'm done for awhile



Here are the pics:

The timing cover looks nice! How much did it cost you to have polished?

Thanks, I think it was around $50.
