Re: billet pulleys
March makes great stuff but I never recommend them Id use Billet Specialty's or Zoops
They screwed to many people in the Detroit area out of Jobs when the moved to FL. My Self included. The owners only care about them selves and no one else 7 people lost there homes because of them, and Several others came very close. I stated my business do to the loss so I came out ok but Many others didnt. out of 50 employees they took 5 with them thats 45 people with family's they screwed. No warnings on the sales department just let us all go one day. Again then I have nice stuff but 90% of the world doent know the people behind the company and how cheap they really are. Also they make about 60% profit on every pulley or bracket they sell. the Aluminum all comes from out side the USA as do the Bolts and tentioning rods they use those come from Japan. Said to say they have even stated sending some of there pulleys out of country to have made its really not a USA product that is 100% a lie.
Just my .02 on one company you talked about here and sorry to hijack your thread I just feel everyone needs to know about how shady and crapy there company really is.:tup:

Re: billet pulleys
The only reason and I mean the ONLY reason they moved is because they 2 brothers that own the place wanted to be able to retire in Fl. They could have done that and sold the business over to Mr. Gasket (They had a very nice miltimillion $ offer from them) and Gone there marry way. They chose to take the company with them because they were paying them selves over $250,000 per year! They didnt really treat the employees well and we always being told we made to much. I did make great $ there but they did what they could to not make any more. ANd to me $50-60,000 a year is good but not great.
The point is there not a good company :tdown: they lie and tell everyone there stuff is 100% an American product and its not. Thats not fair to the people purchasing the stuff no is it?? :rant:

Re: billet pulleys
I have the AC Delete pulley on mine (yah I know I could remove the entire passenger side of pulley's now since I don't have AC) but do you know if MARCH makes a pulley for the AC Delete?

Re: billet pulleys
Yup it was all were going to move in 2000 then they were not then they were again late 2001 then in 2002 they just let all the sales people go one day on a whim because they were going to a rep company for sales and nothing would be done in house. Low and behold 1 month later they had an all new sales staff! Im sure Rodney is your buddy too
I know a lot about the place I still talk to people who deal with them and I here more than most want to think I do. I keep track because there dis honest a-Holes. There are a lot customers that have been screwed over as well. Maybe not syty guys but trust me theres a lot.
And the aluminum was coming from ever seas I saw the trucks the customs forms and all the stuff. The rods and bolts I can tell you do they come in great big wood box's with jap writing all over them!

Re: billet pulleys
Probably a lot as any pulleys you make for a 4.3 V6 will also fit a 305 or a 350 long water pump
