its still almost done. we ran into a problem with the custom alternator we had built. it still wont fit, so we are fabing up an idler pulley and mounting the alternator where the ac was. i will post a couple of pic.

 

 

 

 

 

mid length headers...come on dude...

 

I really like the valve covers, Is that why you're going with the custom alternator? Why no electric water pump?

 

i have a 1.75 inch drop, thats why i have the headers. and yes thats why i am going with the custom alternator(valve covers). and i didnt want to add a lot of electric parts on the car, that why i didnt go with the elec water pump. i have a 2400 watt amp and 2 2000 watt dual 12" speakers in it. i have a upgraded stock pump with beter bearings.

 

Not everyone uses long tube headers.... there are applications where they may not be the best.

 

Is there an upgrade kit for the stock water pumps?

 

Why do you need an "upgrade"..... my stock water pump keeps an 800HP nitrous motor cool. A buddy of mine ran 1,125HP on a blown 383, and it ran cool with the stock pump. The shop that built both these engines will not even consider using an electric pump.

 

I dont think there is an upgrade for the waterpump... no need realy. A stock water pump is fine and is easily up for the job. I tend to belive the electric pumps are better off on a drag car than on a street car, but there are many people who use them on the street with no problems.

Motor looks good, where/who did you get the perimiter bolt conversion from?

 

That's one beautiful engine. ... like a work of art.

Are you running a stock bottom end, or did you do work there, too?

 

i got it from summit and also the tall valve covers

 

everything there is also upgraded. the guy who built it for me has built camaros all his life and his dad also. they built my 240sx that had 400rwhp.
