I know it's been a couple of months since I've posted anything, but I've been a little busy at work. Last weekend my son came down for a visit so we decided to install the engine. It was sure nice to have help. The install only took about 10 minutes.
You might notice that the alternator has been moved from the driver's side to the passenger side. This was a pretty easy swap. I had to fabricate only one bracket arm. This was easy enough because I had an extra universal arm from my 240Z project where I had added a Vintage air compressor. So after a few cuts and some polishing it fit perfectly. I used the old smog pump bracket for the lower pivot point and had to order a longer water pump bolt. Now I have a cheap GM 10SI alternator versus the expensive original....and I get to get rid of the external voltage regulator. This means I'll be doing a complete wire harness swap.
