i'll get some more pics but I may just use a nylon rub strip/guide epoxied to the side, or maybe screwed with 10-32 screws.
On a totally different note
MC I NEED A NEW H2O PUMP PULLEY NOW,
with the V Belt grooves .200 thousandths further back to match the original location.
It seems somewhere along the line the new billet timing cover grew .200 thicker for the OEM which is 3 inches 320 thousanths thick (3.320") to (3.520") so now my stock OEm water pump pulley is too far foward.
Well time for a new Blingin Aluminum one........ :lo1l:

So MC I need one of these .200" longer from the water pump attach flange datem back towards the water pump casting.

Ok more pics for MC, I'm not going to narrate much but if anyone has a question ask away.
[b]So MC you see I have about .200 thousandths before I hit the coolant inlet casting[/b]

[b]And here is where I machined away the bolt boss, now that's it's been almost two years since I did that, I can't remember why I did that[/b]

I just realized just looking at the pics I have to redesign my crankshaft pickup sensor bracket. I originally used the fuel pump boss and screw holes, now I don't have a surface there anymore.... #-o
[img]http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/newpicOct1006004.jpg[/img]
On another note by refreshing my memory I see why I milled the water pump, to clear the flying magnet wheel.

ironman_gq
is that oil line on the bottom of the pump housing a drainback line to the pan?

Yes.
Blown7
So more pics, that really bothered me that I lost the ability to mount my crankshaft pickup, I figured if MC had just left material where the stock fuel pump boss was I could redrill and tap but it wasn't meant to be.......
I wasn't about to start filling material and welding as everything would end up like a pretzel, so I moved things
[img]http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May22008001.jpg[/img]
[img]http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May22008002.jpg[/img]
Actually you can leave all the material between the "Arrows"
[img]http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May22008004.jpg[/img]
MC in the future if you make this setup leave the material straight in theis area it won't hurt a thing to leave this heavy (and you could also make a "inspection hole" here also.
[img]http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May22008006.jpg[/img]
Now on to solving the dilemma
So I pulled another old cover out of the junk pile and used that for a jig.
[img]http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May22008010.jpg[/img]
I figured I'd mill the front side to match the height of the new cover installed
[img]http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May22008011.jpg[/img]
[img]http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May22008012.jpg[/img]
[img]http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May22008015.jpg[/img]
And having the cover milled to the correct height I welded on a pad to use the front hole and I'll add a second tapped hole also

And another cover to add to the "Sacrificed" to the timimg cover Gods

[img]http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May22008023.jpg[/img]
This will be the new mounting location
[img]http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/May22008025.jpg[/img]
Now lastly this is how I saftied my cam gear on forever
I made a new washer .010 smaller than the counterbore for the gear.
I found two 8-32 socket head cap screws 1/2" long, I tapped two holes in the washer that line up with the keyway and oiling groove. I turned the keyway screw down to a point that engages in the keyway for 3/16" deep that keeps the washer from turning and I drilled a safety wire hole thru a 5/16 Grade 8 cap screw and saftey wired it all together, it will never come undone and I don't have to rely on Locktite.

And the real kicker is, even after the oil pan is attached mounted and torqued you still can access the timing cover area

:shock: While all of this is cool way beyond words, at this point I have to ask the question.. When will you and MC just give up and build a motor from scratch?? I mean dang, you are almost there.
(And it is way cool.. I cant wait to see the dyno pulls now)

So now the final pics
The vibration dampners a little close (.050 thousandths clearance) but it doesn't rub so it's good to go

I had to weld a 1 inch pipe coupling to the end of the H2O pump as the new pulley will be too close to the stock radiator clamp location, after TIG welding I brazed over the weld to close any porosity I may have had in the weld as changing the pump will be a PIA due to the tightness of the installed engine in the chassis.

I hope those aren't the "final" pics, just the next series of pics!! :t:
We still need to see the full set-up in the beasty and the sissy bars you're going to put on the back to keep from flipping over backwards when you nail it :mrgreen: Or do you think torque will roll you first?? :-|

:shock: now watch! the heat from the welding burned the seal in the pump and its gonna leak like a sieve :(: .
AWSOME work though :lo1l: I look forward to seeing it run.

Could be .........................
but I wrapped the shaft boss and seal area with wet rags while I was welding and brazing. We'll see how that went.
