Default 1977 camaro RS 5.3 build

Heres a bunch of pictures of my progress on my 2nd gen camaro swap

Engine: 5.3 .030 over speed pro pistons/scat rods, factory crank polished
Stock heads cut .020, trick flow springs retainers, Thunder racing 224-112 cam,
GM performance lifters, billet double roller timing chain, ls2 intake w/edelbrock 90mm cable throttle body.

Pan: 99-02 F-body (Fits perfect)
Headers: Hooker for 67 camaro (bought before proper ones came out)
Motor Mounts: Home made

Not sure what im doing about injectors yet, was thinking of just using stock 5.3 ones if they would be up to the task?

It needs the alt's for the sound system i have in the car.

drivers side ok, not great its pretty close to the rear lower a-arm mount
Passenger side no good had to "massage" to clear rear lower a-arm mount

Not enough belt wrap on the inner alternator it's more of an idler pulley.

CS130D can hardly keep up with stock loads. Put in one (or two) CS144 or AD244 and toss the CS130 where it belongs.

Call Pace Performance. They should be able to get you one $175-$275.

How big is the sound system that a second battery couldn't handle? Just curious. List the system please.
