Closer than any blue car I know.....
I figure hanging out with Weld is like giving to charity. I'm doing a good thing for the world because new people aren't forced to interact with him....
Spent most of tonight filing rings and working on the alternator mount. Here is a pic of the mount as it is. I used some 1/4 plate and have some 5/8x.120 DOM to use as a spacer for the bolts. Plan is the reinforce is back to the block near the motor mounts there is less flexing. I also want to retain the driver side idler pully using an aluminum spacer i will fab and add an idler pulley near the mount closest to the center of the engine. I think this will give me maximum wrap of all pulley. To clear the thermostat housing I am hoping a manual adjuster like this one (
