You are one of the guys that I did some research on while trying to decide in which direction to go. How's yours coming along? Steve mentioned that he saw you were selling your block and maybe trying to switch over to 6 bolt.
Here's me and Steve doing battle on the streets on motor. Video is from his car. I dinged the limiter on the first one.

Pulley rubs the header. He can get a smaller pulley, i think but the reservoir ends up right up against it. Would be nice if someone made an electric power stearing setup for the Fbody with a remote reservoir and pump.

Vortech makes a relocation for the reservoir and a different pulley to mount to the head. Its a billet pulley and they might be able to get one in a smaller diameter. Tell him to call vortech and check it out.

We did make some progress in a couple of other areas after a few hours of head scratching. He had cut off the horns for the bumper support in an effort to shed some weight. Ofcourse, now we need them in order to attach the front IC/Bumper support. Dave made up some brackets for us to use this evening and I dropped off the radiator again so that he could move the top AN fitting down a little in order to clear the exhaust housing on the driver's side turbo. Also dropped off the charge pipe to have a bung welded in for the screw in IAT sensor.
We gave up on trying to jam the flex-a-lite puller in there. It was way too tight. Called up Flex-A-Lite and they are sending the opposite pitch blades for FREE (to make it a pusher). Now that's customer service!
We got most of the fuel plumbing done last night also.

only thing about e-85 is the insane amount of volume needed. I can't even run it in my secondary cell due to lack of volume. But if he went with enough fuel system e-85 is great.
