Is there a big power difference between useing the 3400 top end and the 3500 top end?
Well I'm doing it because, with tuning, the 3500 top end and 3.4 pistons will work together at ~11.5-12.33:1 compression depending on which gaskets are used.
Started fabricating the alt mount brackets. Just so you know, the stock RWD 60* brackets will work with some minor modification, but I need room for some turbos...
Not really happy with the placement of the alt. Lower would be better, but the huge engine mounts are gettin gin the way. I made this prototype out of some scrap AL (probably see the extra tooling marks in it, lol). Might move it to get some more room for the headers.
Close up of the holes enlarged on the iron head coolant neck. This means so far all the stock brackets can be used, but I will have to machine an adapter...
Some new problems arised, though. Now the TB isn't going to work, it's on up-side down in the pics because the black alt bracket and alt is in the way. I may have to swing the alt down a little and fabricate a replacement (for the small black bracket), re-configure the TB, or use another TB. The alt bracket has two bolts and only two contacts on the head, this could be unstable at high RPM's, so need to figure out something to make to hold the bottom bolt hole to the lower boss on the front of the pass side head.
The A/C bracket, I feel comfortable with. It has two bolts to hold it, with opposing contacts on the head for stability, but the new bolt hole is through some thin cast aluminum and I don't want it to break. To remedy this, I plan on using a steel sleeve over the bolt behind the bracket - so it gets "sandwiched" between the bracket and head when torqued down.
both...that alt bracket is retarded haha I used the RWD 3.4 brakets
You mean the stock alt braket that I ended up using, or the prototype I was working on?
Updates...
Finally got some time to work on my own stuff. Told the family I wanted to pull my engine on Father's Day. Started at 11am and had to assemble the hoist and stand (don't fit in my truck assembled), started cooking on the grill by 2pm when our company showed up lol.
Working alone with my boys watching, it's done though...
Did you paint that blue water pump yourself, or was it like that from an after-market vendor? I've been fixated on that with every pic. Why do those look like torx-head cap screws holding the water pump in?
Hi, everyone. We bought a 97 base model convertible Camaro and someone broke the motor ... Lights were blinking on the dash and that someone ignored the...
