Got my pulley set up on finally.
Fuel line rockers and distributor and its ready to fire finally. Just need some time.


This is how it was supposed to be outta the box

What I did with it. Man polishing is a pain and a mess.
ARP chit adds up too;should handle a buttload of rpm without any belt issues though. Lightweight too.

whoa... shwing.

that is HOT.

Very Sweet!! Good Lord those heads are polished nicely. I would have liked to do mine like that but would never have the patience or stamina to take the time to do it. Nice job. I guess you have lots of blackened rubber gloves in the trash from all that polishing!!!

Beauteous!

That's awesome looking friend. Good work, on all accounts.

Hey are the belts not adjusted properly or are they supposed to be a bit slack?

Yeah they are on there loose for the time being. Guess when I took the ps pulley off and reinstalled it I didnt put it back on far enough so its not lined up right so it has to come back off. Hopefully it works ok I dont want to get into water pump shims etc.

Honestly this whole ordeal was an expensive pita from the start but I wont go into it. Just dont like having what everyone else at the local cruise in has though. Guess theres a price to pay.

Noticed a nice drip[ of gasket sealer running down off the water pump lol. Pictures are forever.

prrrreeeeetttttyyyyyyyyyy

Most people buy their polish.. The one's that have done it will know the amount of effort involved to produce a finish that nice! Thats a great looking motor!

I had to do shims on bastet44's L98 after I discovered that Milodon had screwed the pooch on the water pump boss.

Get 'er done, Ron!

Damn dat der is shiney! So, shiney I can't see somethin'. Cause I squinted and squinted and, for the life of me, I can't see where you carved "Ron's shiney beeeeoootch" in the front of those heads!

Maybe you should carve "Eliminator Eliminators" on the front! LOL

And then they realize why they'll never do it again, and they pay someone next time, LOL.

Nice work Ron! But didn't you hear they outlawed gas powered cars?

Looks real sharp...........!

Yeh, I'm jealous.

Looks great. So you actually gonna put it in something or is is gonna sit on the stand for 3 years

Its in the car which is all together and done except the front clip and some minorinterior pieces. It will go down he track this year no matter what.

nice looking Ron

Looking good Ron. When do you expect to fire that baby up?

Can I have one next????
not to jinx myself but a new engine is all I'm missing now.....

That looks great Ron !!

Can I ask where did you get that alternator bracket ? March Performance ?

I'd like to have one something like it....

On firing up, once the clip is on. Maybe a month or two realistially. Trying to find a place to move and do that on top of a million other things.

Beach, it was a complete kit from Pace Performance. heard it was discontinued, ask for Chuck Fitch over there if they have it hes the one to talk to.


If not I found that CV products makes the parts for them you can save a good bit of dough that way. If youre spinning it make sure the ps pump is valved right for it. THere are a lot of cheap mini pumps that look the part but wont hold up to the abuse.

Moroso makes one similar to it but I dont think the alt will work on a short pump sbc.

Get ahold of Mseven he knows someone who makes them.....may be another source.

On polishing yes its a pita...anyone who says its as simple as taking a cast piece using a wire wheel and mothers..LOL
not.

Best to pay someone for it really. Getting set up with the right stuff including some specailty hand tools costs a bundle but being as Ive done every piece on the car including the bellhousing, stainless brake/fuel lines I figured in the long run it was worth it.
Fun when the wheel grabs a part out of your hand and throws is at your shin/feet at light speed lol.

Thanks on the tip.

I would really love to move my alternator to the passenger side for belt issues.... harder in hell finding something already done that makes it easy.

March Performance has some stuff that is close.... but no cigar.... my Meziere electric water pump is the curve ball....

it looks bitchin! we will see who fires there's up first!!

Quote:

you?, Ron? or Me?

LOL

....

Nice job.
