Default Alternate Mounting

Room is a little tight on my Vette'. This ought to make space for the forward swept turbocharger headers. Still need to fab the front bearing plate ect. Just progress of more of my insanity.






Little more to go.

That's freaking awesome. Do you ever sleep? I can see you staying up all night thinking up cool ideas and spending the next day implementing them. How many people do you have working on this project with you?

heh....what would we do without our imaginary friends. It's hard to see from the pics, but where is the adjusting pivot point to adjust the belt slack?

Very nice setup.......What would you charge to make one for me?

I noticed the purple fitting on the oil pan wing.......this is for the oil return from the turbos? Is this the best location?

What was done to the balancer?...looks very nice!

Also is there a bearing in the engine mount for the shaft?

Very interested!!!!!

Hopefully get the hang of this camera one day...... Pics don't even do justice at all.

Turbo oil return..... (one on each side) seemed like a logical location.
Balancer...... Chromed and modified SFI (10,000 rpm)
3 sealed bearings on the shaft. 2 forward and one behind the rear pulley.
15mm belt. All steel pulley's.
Charge for making one ???. If you read my post's you would know the answer to that one......
