lippy,
That’s a serious looking motor, Brent built you a beast! All installed as a complete assembly, nice job … your helpers do good work.
The plumbing looks great, the remote oil filter setup is very cool. What type of fuel pump are you running?
Nice work with the photos, keep them coming! |

Great job Lippy. Wish I had realized at the time that the entire unit could go in at once.
I didn't recognize he alternator bracket for awhile either. I think it was about 2 years before I knew what the tubing for the windshield wiper system was for.

I'd have to ask ERA, but it is strengthened and they told me it is good for >600HP. I think my weak link is the half shafts, but they said they should hold unless I "drive like an ***hole." |

Hopefully it isn't one of those. |

It isn't. ERA was having them made by Machine Service, Inc. in Green Bay, WI. I know that's who made mine. I don't think I've ever heard of one getting twisted/busted. U-Joints and stub axles, yes... but never the drive shaft itself. |

We looked at a lot of pumps. We initially were going to use a RobbMC but it didn't clear properly. We ended up going with a Carter high-capacity pump. We did the math and it should work fine, with plenty of safety factor. Brent and Barry use them on several of their builds. I really wanted to avoid an electric pump if possible because I don't want the extra wiring and complexity, and IMO the only way they are dead reliable is with a return line and in-tank (confirmed by tech guys at Aeromotive and Holley). |
