Nice, I can't wait for the turbo silliness.

Can I get a better shot of the accessory drive? Where did you get the idler pulleys? I have a few ideas and those just may work for me.

So frusterating new radiator is sapose to be 26x19.shows up 25x18 and the core is 1.5 narrower than the one that I was replacing.now have to exchange this one and get a bigger one.the p/s pulley is a p.o.s. and does not fit for &$@!. But cbm said they will give me 20$ back for my troubles if I choose to keep it and machine the belt.to make it fit. I really hate this part.

This is funny. I just spotted that supercharger forsale on craigslist today and then I come on here and click on this thread for the first time and wow theres that exact supercharger. Do you usually hit car craft? Id love to see this thing in person.
