Okay - having trouble with attachments . . . maybe because I'm a newbie with attachments on this site. So - if you see the same stupid thing 45 times, you'll know the reason. ME!
==============
Monday Build Update: Buddy has asked me to post some more pictures . . . here are the latest from this evening.
1) Finished the mounting of the crank snout support system -- uses a big roller bearing on the outside of the snout hub to take strain off of the crankshaft snout and also acts as sort of a '4th Main' for our 3 main FlatCad. The crank hub goes on really tight - to reduce the chances of any run-out and/or any opportunity to wobble. Once you put them on, you have to use a stout puller to pull them back off (which I have).
2) Then I put all the blower manifold, intercooler and drive setup in place - to validate belt lengths and pulley options. We can swap the lower-upper pulleys and switch over to a 48 driving 53 pulley setup, but if we want to run a larger upper pulley during breakin, we'll need a longer belt. I tried to put on a 59 tooth upper pulley (next size I had from 53) - won't work. We'll need to determine what pulley combinations, overdrive and belt we'll need for the dyno.
Attached is a picture - kind of looking a bit 'Bad A$$' now isn't it!
I have a lot to do in a short time - going to be a thrash in the next few weeks.
