Default Belt drive

Hey all,

Looking at belt drive systems, it looks like the options are:

Drive Junky Gen 5 LT4 Street Monster Serpentine blower drive:

http://drivejunky.com/product/lt4-se...-system-black/

Pace SS-LT4-FEA-1P :

http://paceperformance.com/i-2384076...t-p-s-a-c.html

Or you can go factory, but there is no power steering pump provisions and A/C is a separate item:

Personally, I'm leaning towards the drive junky unit. I prefer the belt routing for the super charger.

Anyone else see other options?

FYI, the Holley pan in the '70 Chevelle. Plenty of room.

Default Parts is parts!

Hey all,

Well, I'm a few weeks into the project and I have the front end off of the car, the old engine / trans sold and am slowly receiving parts.

I ended up sending the grill / radiator support / hood latch / etc. part of the front clip (i.e. the front clip minus the fenders and hood) to Dewitts so they can work through the multiple layers of cooling.

Drive Junky are still working on the belt, etc. for the front of the engine. The shipping ETA is about a week.

I did receive the Holley oil pan and am waiting for the other parts to do the install.

Working through the steering, I thought I would go with Lee Powersteering rebuilding / modifying the original gear box. They can do either 12.7:1, 14:1 or 16:1VR. After much research, I'm going to try the 12.7:1 and have the 3 bearing road race package done.

Thread updated to move from PB to postimg. Unreal!

Anyhow, making progress. Have the front clip off, A/C out, master cylinder / power brake booster, etc. off. At this point everything front of the firewall is off save for the frame and suspension.

Now for the interior...

Great info to have on the LT engines. It can be a challenge to be on the bleeding edge of new products, thanks for posting your build.

I ordered both the mini tub and frame notching kits from ABC. See:

http://www.hotrod.com/articles/mini-...m-a-body-step/

http://www.abcperformance.net/store/...products_id=34

Looks like they will be delivered tomorrow (I missed the delivery on Friday). Quick delivery!

Also received my Lee power steering gear and tank.





The pump went to Drive Junky for incorporating with their drive system. That has shipped as well, so hopefully it will arrive here by Wednesday.

http://leepowersteering.com/

Talking with Zach at Drive Junky (really good guy), it looks like they can accommodate both the ATI and Lingenfelter overdrive for the LT4.

So, here is what ATI offers:
http://www.atiracing.com/products/da...ts/damserp.htm

Lingenfelter has an overdrive unit as well:

http://www.lingenfelter.com/product/L250580215.html

The difference between the two is the ATI unit uses an eight rib belt. Lingenfelter uses a 10 rib belt. The Lingenfelter unit requires pressing the pulley off of the supercharger as well as changing the lower pulley. Lingenfelter has a single 15% OD option, where ATI offers several different options, from under drive to 20% OD.

Talking to Zach, they are still working through getting everything fitted for the OD pulleys, but will work with me to ensure fitment.

http://www.drivejunky.com

Talking with Ultimate Headers, they are still working through headers for the '67 Chevelle. It should be released in a couple of weeks. That said, I put on order a set with their 316L stainless flange



I also am going with their extreme low profile clamps:



Finally, it will all be ceramic coated (verses polished) for low maintenance.

http://ultimateheaders.com/swap-head...4-camaro.shtml

On the car, I finally have everything under the dash removed and the wiring harness in the trunk removed. I was thinking of getting the passenger's side rear quarter and wheel tubs changed before getting the body e-coated. That way, the e-coating will be in all weld seams.

Thoughts?

I love how the ultimate low profile clamps looks, but I have had issues with them sealing. Had to re-toque them twice now. With that said, their headers are awesome.
