Message Ha! JK, sort of. You've been around here long enough to know that in general principle, folks here shy away from eBay as a source for modding their cars.

Your source is a "Power Seller" and his rating is decent (I like to see >99.7%), but you still takes your chances. If you decide to try them, be sure and post your experience.

There was an eBay crank pulley out there that had the timing marks in the wrong spot. That could drive a guy crazy.

I can't tell from his description if the accessory pullies are just lightened or oversized to compensate for the crank pulley. You don't want "underdrive" accessory pullies, if anything you want "overdrive," esp for the water pump.

LOL at his "defiantly" spelling error, cuz it still makes sense in a ricer sort of way.

And he is not providing any information for you on belts. Stock ones won't fit anymore.

I wouldn't. Go with a name brand UD crank pulley, and an overdrive water pump pulley if you think you need one. The rest of the pullies are a waste, IMO.
