We had Crower fix the original R&R Rods. They still aren't perfect by my crude measurment methods, but they were use-able. They looked way better.

I am going to try and change the trans before I run it at the track.

Drove it today for about 30 minutes and so far, so good. I just can't get over how quiet and smooth this motor is. This is one of those cars that is decieving

Kasey, here is a pic in the chassis.

I put about 30 minutes drive two times and still have not stood on it. I have probably been 1/2 throttle and 4000 RPM and it feels good/promising. Next time out I will stand on it and then change the oil after that to see what is going on. No strange noises and oil pressure is good except at idle it is kind of low. 18-20 PSI. It has Comp Cams Break in oil 10W30 right now.

I ordered that bracket from KRC Power. I am not using it as designed though. It is designed to have the alternator on the front side of the bracket to lineup with a "drive pulley" that would be FRONT of the water pump shaft.

So, I did modify it and if you look close you can see what I did. Copy and paste the pics on your PC and then you can zoom in. The lower front side is MILLED to clear the fan belt, the front side right where the water pump pully is had to be milled slightly to clear the water pump pulley. I just plunge cut with an end mill in a drill press a bunch of times until the metal I need is all removed.

There is about a .250 spacer behind the bracket for alignment purposes. The water pump pulley is a mid to late sixties small block single groove pulley and I think if you took the spacer out it may align with the early 70's small block water pump pulley.

Here is a link and a pic from another angle so you can see what is going on.

Ron.

Alternator is a 93MM Denso that is sold by Powermaster and Summit carries them. Don't let the 93 MM confuse you. The Mounting bracket is made for this alternator that has 138MM center to center measurment on the mounting lugs (you can see this on the link provided). 93MM is the case size.

Mine is the 8162.

Looking at your crank trigger...did you just put magnets in the ATI damper instead of using a separate trigger wheel?

Yes. That is an option that ATI offers. But I am pretty sure the balancer outer ring is different so the magnets can be installed. So, you can't just add them to any balancer without changing the outer ring. This is something that Ryan suggested we do to simplify things and I like it.

"Trailering's TOO much WORK!"

This is funny because the one thing you are not afraid of is work!

I have enjoyed watching your craftsmanship, thanks for taking us along for the ride.

Well, I finally punched it this afternoon. Lets say I am very happy. You can never really tell (without going to the track), but I would say I will meet my performance goal. It feels faster than the Demon was.

I went to about 2500 rpm rolling in first gear and then hammered down. I am pretty sure the shift light (6000RPM) was on before I even got the throttle all the way open. Of course I had to do it a second time. That kind of power is intoxicating

I think it's too early to tell. So far I have about an hour+ of easy street driving and 2 quick squirts through 1rst 2nd and into 3rd at full throttle. Plus I adjusted the regulator twice. But all is well so far. I will let you know if I find oil. That breather has 2 perforated screens and some coalescing material in it and I doubt much oil will pass through it.

I am getting real good vacuum with that pump. I actually backed the regulator down for now so I only have 7-8" crusing around at low speed. It was 12-13. Not sure what it is when I stand on it.
