Ya you guys said that last time and all I got was excuses..I'm not wasting my gas.

So far the MCSS ran a 9.23 1000ft at Centerville..I'm about to get to hook so I see it being in the 8's..

The S10 will run high 9's/low 10's in the 1000ft..I see it hitting that..that'll be the run for your truck..if you can keep up with a little aluminum 346..

Looks good, but I think your throttle cable needs to be a bit longer. I got it, the length of the throttle cable must be an attempt to slow the truck down so your competition has a chance. Ha, ha, ha!

Well I finished my Accessory setup.

I made an Alternator Bracket out of some extra steel I had..



I'm using the truck 140amp Alternator.

It mounts up nicely..





I had to clearance the Battery Tray. It fits the battery fine..



I'm using a stock F-body Belt too..fits perfect, nice and tight..

Here is the Radiator setup..I cut the bottom off of the Core Support..



Then mounted the Radiator Pads on the Frame..



Then clearanced around where the Cap goes..



That is a LT1 F-body Radiator mounted in there. I just have it inplace, I'm making my mounts for it tomorrow.

I'll have to use some of the aftermarket slim fans, now it's to the point where the stock stuff isnt working..lol..
I'll prob buy a pair of them and mount them on the stock plastic fan shroud and keep the fans I bought as extras for my MCSS.

Like that alternator mount. Simple, cheap, and effective. I need to make something similar for a low driver's side mount but for my old school, one-wire alternator.

At that angle under load, your belt on the lower (drive) pulley may slip.

I think he's talking about the crank pulley with only about 25-30% of the pulley having belt on it. Truck should move pretty good.

Ya I figure it'll be a good DD to rape some hondas with..

I thought about it..I'll check it out when I get it running. With a UD Pulley I could see it slipping because of the surface area and leverage, so to speak, on the belt..with a stock Pulley I see it staying tight. That long side is the draw side too..it will pull at that point.

I found me some Skinny Fans..Hayden 10" Reversable ones.

They will be wired in and ran low/high speed like the stock ones..







I still have clearance for the Intake..
