Timing cover and water pump pulley. I wasn't sure how to use anti seize with thread sealer so I just used thread sealer.
 
I use the rjc rocker shaft supports after too many rocker shaft coming loose threads.

Thanks, I powdercoated the accessory support bracket tonight. Results soon. It's sooooo much easier to do this work without the front clip on the car. We all need flip forward front ends. ;)

Im moving back to the Midwest soon so I'm in a rush to finish. Some things may have to wait.

hello people; Looking good but about the SM heat shield. Did you make it and does it work on both stock and mini starters?
IBBY

That heat shield is a stock part I powdercoated single stage reflective chrome by Eastwood. So it should work with any starter.
 
James, where are you moving to?

aaron

Not Misery (your state) ;). I already lived there once. :)

I'll be moving to Indiana (hour north of Indy). Only God knows why!

I'm going to have to learn how to do things like "spring cleaning" on my Buick. Ack!
 
Yeah we'll live by each other again. He's trying to finish his Mustang right now and he hopes to make another powertour with me, but maybe not this year... I do look forward to being closer to family.
 
Front frame braces made by Detroit Speed. They have a nice curve built in to clear larger than stock swaybars. You can get much larger than the musclebar so if say they'd clear whatever you have.

Never mind I just went into the garage I don't think any stretch intercooler would fit with these...

I sorta cracked the red plug plastic going into the back of the compressor. Not at the base but where the connector clips. Think I'll be okay?

The rest of the pullies... Make sure you use the stock alt pulley spacer if you're running the rjc pulley.
