Time to get the motor plate all sorted out. Good news, bad news. Bad news is the Hendrick motor plate I was going to use will not work. Just not enough room for the rack and the oil pump on the same side.



Good news is Jim can build another one and put the pump where it needs to go.

At least you're the smart twin who put the oil pump on the correct side.

Here is something you do not see everyday. These are pulleys that Hendrick machines up for their motors. They are modular and they make them in different diameters to change the pulley ratios for different tracks and RPM ranges.

New oil pump location



Alternator bracket





We had to alter the water pump inlet to clear the right side oil pump and belt

You can see in this picture the clearence we gained with the water pump inlet






Lower mandrel...just because it looks cool

It really bothers me that your motor sits behind your rack centerline ...
