Project: PBR-Built Z/28

[nascarnate326]

After you get this done are coil packs in your future?

Not in the plans yet. I want to start planning the project out thoroughly and make a decision based on what will be involved. Right now i am leaning towards leaving it as until the engine comes out for a rebuild. I think im due for piston rings but im not spending that money right now, i want to do the whole shebang the right way.

awesome! I have been looking into Oil and PS coolers for my Z28

I placed my PS cooler behind the airdam as well, but did not put any holes in the dam yet.
but I was replacing the crappy inline factory LS1 upper hose PS cooler.

[MENTION=3929]dawdaw[/MENTION] here you go. Unless someone has any bright ideas I've come to the conclusion theres no way this thing is going in. Even if i cut off the offending random bolt & metal, I still need at least a full inch more clearance to the side of the engine bay than i have right now.

it looks like other people that have made this bracket did it differently using a piece of angle iron for the top mount instead of the one built into the bracket. Kyle did, you ever have mine in a car?

I'd like to get an oil cooler as well but i am going to see how hot the oil temps actually get before i mess with it.

Do you think you could use a smaller CS130 alternator?

[JoeliusZ28]

this mount hole just needs to be more inline with the bracket.

Should be back together soon, fabricating the correct bracket hasn't proven to be too difficult. Dads doing some welding for me tonight then i just have to drill holes and put it together. Next step will be finding the right size belt. I think Kyle may have given me the part number for one a while back, need to look through my old PMs.

diggin it. Love the idea, but I just can't justify getting rid of the A/c.

[JoeliusZ28]

I believe there are other options with custom made brackets but its not nearly as affordable as this is.

I also found a picture of what the new belt routing will look like. A bit concerned there might not be enough contact on the PS pulley, i guess we'll see how it works. If my belt is squealing at 70mph around corners at waterford hills, ill know what the problem is

Removing the A/C would be tough for me, but i could live without it. I only use it when weather permits and am cruising, otherwise i can't bring myself to use it just cruising around town, kills the experiance for me.

The things I would do to have a welder at my place...

Deciding to remove the AC also gets a hell of a lot easier if it's already broken
