Shelby aluminum block...questions!

[VitaminC]

Hi Gary,

I hope I am not in violation of forum rules by responding here - if so, I can move this to the Shelby Enterprises forum.

1. We use billet aluminum or black powdercoated mild steel alternator brackets.
2. We generally use Tilton starters; they're $315.
3. We now make our own billet adapter for the remote oil filter. We recently improved it over the old design; it's pretty neat. I'll post pics when I get my hands on a digital camera around this place.
4. We currently use the alternator and water pump pulleys from the #1910 March set, but we do not use their crank pulley.
5. We use the Motorcraft-branded alternators, not the Autolite-branded units, but if people are really interested in the latter (haven't had anyone ask yet) I'd be willing to stock up on them.
6. Standard FE motor mounts do work.
7. Why do you want to delete the bypass hose?

As far as the best place to get this stuff without breaking the bank, give us a call (click the banner at the top of this page for contact info).

Thanks,
