You would think they have them already built and on hand ready to drop motors in them.

You may not believe this but me and a friend are going to head to Florida for some festivities. I showed him your thread and he looked at me and said the same thing I was thinking. Where in the hell is LME. I don't know why but I thought it was in Georgia. We looked it up and saw it was in Texas, Dam it. If it was on our way we had every intention on talking to you, and volunteering to pick that bad boy up for you in my Yukon Denali and bring it to you. There are 4 points for ty downs. With it on a stand like that and 4 straps you could roll that thing and it won't move. Had to hammer the brakes bringing our motor home and it didn't move, and I mean hammered the brakes good.

Anyways, Best of Luck to You Man. Sorry your going through this crap.
Yea man its crazy! LME is going to make it right but that's the least they can do! The new runner and snout are getting made now, and i'm having them cut the snout to the 105mm TB so that eliminates the lip that I had. If there's one bright spot its that. this motor has put the build so far behind, now all I want to do is make some passes in it. But i have a feeing it wont be till next summer as the holidays are coming up, getting married in Feb and the car will still need paint and body work. maybe one day lol

Now come on now. How sick would it be to show up to the wedding in that Bad Beotch. Hook some cans to the back of it and just blaze the tires on the way out. That will get your womans motor running. Lol. Congrats

The lack of quality control these days is on a downward spiral. No facks given anymore. I see it all the time in every industry. Yet you can order hardware from summit and it ll show up with balloon bag protection!

A 25% underdrive crank pulley will keep you safe to near 10,000.

ATI told me the same thing. Do not use the underdrive balancer. They said the smaller ones cannot control harmonics properly. Bigger is better. The underdrive he has on the alternator in the pic is how you want to do it. The LS7 ATI super balancer is what we use and looks just like the one in the pic. Has been working fine for 4 years so far. We have that same size pulley but it doesn't look as good as that one. I had to build my on mount to put it in the same spot. Wish they would have made that mount when we did ours. It took quite a bit of fine tuning to get our belt to stay on with the home made one, but finally got it working flawless.

Who makes the one in the pics? Is it the same manufacturer as the pulley? Looks like the same alternator we have. Powermaster?
