nice
supprised you have room for the alternator up front?
mines on the side so engine sits further forward.
been looking at electric water pumps and looking at ones off the
engine so engine only has elbows

[confusionhunter]

Lovely! Whats the target output from all this work? What are you going to use as a fuel system?

[MarkWebb]

The Engine actually has slightly more clearance at the front than it used to. Although bulkhead layout needs to be changed slightly.
I went to an electric water pump ages ago on old engine. It was due to water temp climbing to slightly alarming levels at idle in traffic when I was at le mans classic a few years back!
I like the run on of the pump after shut down and the temp control without tstat. No probs with idle temps now.
I hope to get 550 hp with a better torque spread than the old engine.
Fuelling is by retro fitted in tank pumps direct to fuel rails. No PITA swirl pot for me

you might get some better fiqures using the non ultima headers,,, very restrictive

PM'd

Not too worried about numbers! Whilst they are a work of art the Autob headers just take up too much space IMOP!
Only further mod I am considering once it is all together and hopefully running good is an 8 stack inlet system.
Car is Canam so it will look the part with intakes protruding through clam.

Nice! What is it in?

[V8Dom]

are those Ultimate headers? If so worth changing as they will bring another 50 Bhp to the table

Be carefull you have oil getting to lifter galleries, i have same block and found, luckily before starting that the oil way was not drilled at all supplying lifter galleries.
