Default 89 RS Camaro 6.0L / MP-T70

Well, I'm in the home stretch now after lurking on here, TGO and The Turbo forums. So I figured I would post a few pictures and pick some brains for Ideas.

I need to figure out how to make some kind of idler pulley, dress up my wires and run my fuel and she should fire. I also need to work on making some room between hot pipes and my heater hose.

Please chime in if you have some ideas.

For the belt, have you thought about the truck style routing? From the crank, do a backward "S" round the water pump, to your alternator, under the TB and around the PS pump?

For what its worth...for an idler pulley, I used a peice of heavy walled steel pipe 1/2" ID
Welded a nut on the end for the pulley mount and cut it to suit the standoff distance. I welded the pipe to a 1/4" base Plate and painted it to hide it.

Is there a reason you didnt put a flex pipe connection in your cross over?

Any pictures? Sound like that might work for me.

I didn't really see the need to be honest. I had one on my 69 Camaro turbo but after using it I saw were they had come apart on the inside. I cut it out on that car put it back together and it has been that way for 3 years now.
