I picked up one of his earlier sets, and at that time they were going anywhere from $460-ish to around $600 (IIRC, higher price was for the initial production run).

Terry had two designs, the "original" and an upgraded version with an additional adjustable belt tensioner. Not certain what he's charging for them now, or if he's even still producing one version or the other.

Suggest you PM gortch, he's the guy who fabricates them and could give you the most accurate info.

Yuppers! ;) Shined up real nice too! Oh!!! BTW! Anyone that may need replacement bolts for any of his brackets, contact Terry (mine came with the allen heads stripped out), Terry ships them out quick as lightning and very inexpensive!

Yes. Two brackets w/bolts from Terry. You need the Ford tensioner/pulley also and a ribbed pulley for the brackets in the last pics.

Or you can get a nicer and stronger Roush tensioner too. The Z- man brought this one to my attention. It's the one I bought for my swap. It's a little more money but what evs.

It's thicker and stronger but looks nicer I think. $150 from JDM Engineering.
