Thats pretty good! Down here in Va, they want stupid dumb prices. Just ridiculous.
What are the front accessories from again? F body? I want the low mount alternator like you have.
They're all f-body. I didn't care for the high mount alt either and this was the best way I could figure to route the belts without PS and AC.
Who did you go to there? Try justin with detective coating he was pretty good on prices really good work just couldn't get myself to actually ship them to him
I think you are going to get slippage on that. I would prefer more real estate on that crank. I think once you start running power to that you are going to get some squeal. Do you know if someone else runs it like that or is that a homeopathic remedy?They're all f-body.

I've got a katech solid tensioner coming that will do the trick. This set up is one I drew up but I sent it to the guy I got the 6.0 from and turns out it's a pretty common routing. I'm not a creative genius like I thought. Supposedly we'll be fine but time will tell.
In other news...
Not a fun task in the slightest
No no it'll be a full interior streetable car.
I don't like being unsure of the wiring done by the PO so I'll pretty much be starting from scratch in that regard.
I pulled all the autometer stuff and will be pulling all the aftermarket stereo stuff out as well. May go ahead and build the new cluster.
The dash (unsurprisingly) is pretty damn heavy and I'll be stripping a lot of unneeded components mounted to it as well as the heater core from the firewall. All my wiring will be done as well as mounting the Holley system while the dash is out. So while it wasn't essential to start up, it was kind of a "while I'm in there " thing.
Look on the first page of this build. I really, really like the way he mounted the alternator, I think I'll follow this setup.

I think I could live with that, I was just after a more OEM look and being NA I really didn't need it out of the way for anything
I dont buy that the fast TB flows 150 cfm more. It is the same base and the same size throttle blades. Also, JD's performance will beat accufabs prices by like 50 bucks plus he ships them for free...
See, I'm with your line of thinking. If the body and blades are the same I don't why ones 1250 and ones 1375. Or why accufab would advertise a lower CFM. Obviously if one offers more for the same money, I'm all about it. But I'd like to find the actual answer. It may seem trivial but I'd really prefer a different color. I'm working how the flow testing might have varied
Good deal, thanks for the heads up.
Got my lokar dipstick. It's a little longer than what FTI supplied but the flexibility is what I needed. My LS1 throttle cable showed up as well. But it's the same length as the 4.6 unit and will take a little modification so I'm gonna try and use the Ford cable first.
Got the heater core pulled and the carpet pulled back. Stripped out the padding behind the dash and just generally wanted to make sure the car was solid everywhere. And it is.
I'm really unhappy with the cage that's in the car now. It's a "6 point" but in realilty only the drivers side door bar was finished and it wouldn't pass tech anyways so it's essentially a 4 point. Hoping to click off some 9 second passes when the cars lined out so I'm leaning towards having the cage redone now.
My plan to have it up and running by may is obviously out the window. I just keep finding things I want to do or I'm unhappy with so I'm going to address all of them. It'll run when it runs I guess.

We've been around this enough to know that's how it always is. Not worth making setting goals in that regard mayne.
