Looks good! I would definately be working on a real air filter for it. It took me about 3 hrs to make my own from stuff I picked up at Pep Boys LOL! A guy Mark from Louisiana helped me with his photos he posted etc... I am using 4" aluminum pipe with a filter works good required a little trimming of the core support though.

How close dose the crank pulley run to the idler pulley, sure looks close.
I guess there is no room for a larger crank pulley, 7-5/8 would be out of the question???

But than again with no slippage, I guess you could pulley down on the blower side, to make up for it????

What crank pulley are you running?????

The alternator? It is gone down below. I like that. Going to have to see if I can do that. It just looks so ugly on the top side.

Is that a stock F-body mount for the alternator?

Since your making some decent power and have a good penny in your engine, I would quit running that $2 fram filter and run something with a synthetic element like a mobil 1 or k&n. I read a lot about those fram filters coming apart.

What filter are you talking about all I see is the screen in front that only keeps small animals out? Never mind I see you were talking about the oil filter.

i used to only use k&n oil filters but stopped caring because i didnt think they really did that much of a better job.

Nice job!

That's an interesting SDCE/Custom setup you have there.
Different than your typical ATI D1SC.

Looking at your pictures, it appears you did some motor work too.

That's a nice ride you have there.

Looks good, but you are going to need to change out that screen pretty quickly to a heavier stainless mesh. That screen will flex back and forth as you rev and shift and break pretty quickly and you know where it is going to goe first...

Its a little brace that comes with the SDCE kit, not really sure how much it helps. Sometimes I use it, sometimes I dont and havent really noticed any difference either way. But if its there why not use it..

I am surprised you are still running the power steering cooler. I had to take mine off because it was rattling on top of the tensioner.
