I got the alternator brackets milled for the new hardware and welded the braces on their 90's. Just need to re-powdercoat them now to get them ready to go out.

cool! I got the new pulley and I picked up my new belts today. Now I need to get over to the shop and put the pulley and belts on and get my damned motor back in. Not to mention I am testing new pedals as well... Fingers crossed she will be running again next week

You take much longer and I'm going to have my motor rebuilt before you get your's back in the car
(Can't wait to see how she runs when you're done!)
Have a great Christmas!!

Didn't you used to have the 12psi pulley in your car? How come you decided to drop down to the 9 pound?

Oooo! Ouch! Sorry to hear that, Tom. Now I understand your user title. I guess we know the limits of the engine now.

Good luck with the new pulley.

He's probubly waiting to here from me on how the versions you gave me run. I put the last version in and drove it up and down the road a little. The car feels stronger, but I havent done any track or dyno test for it. I lost the altenator bolt on the way to ATCO to test them and had to turn around and head home.

did you put another temp bolt in or do I need to be faster with getting one of the new brackets and hardware to you? I could have powder coated them today but spent the day taking the cams and heads off my bench engine so they are ready to go to their respective machine shops.

amazing!!! It is a brand new car... Def worth it to go to a low mileage motor. Now I need to find my PS fluid leak so I stop polluting the environment with it burning off my exhaust

I put another temp in. Same size as the one I just broke. lucky for me the local store has a good stock and there only 35 cents each.
