SB Chev. 5.7 (.30 over) lots of aftermarket go fast stuff, it may get a smaller cam--but it's not built for economy right now (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

5.7 and G50 transaxle. The outer flywheel bolts supplied by Kennedy had heads that were just a tad too tall, and these would peg against the bellhousing. Found out just before installing the drivetrain, milled the bolt heads slightly and perfecto.
Some DIY kits are not sorted out (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) Attached image(s)

The install was strange, cherry picker and floor jack. This is where the engine hatch is real handy !

Interesting H20 system uses a basic expansion tank( T304SS) located in the upper R front grille. This is the high point of the coolant system. Initial coolant fill and radiator cap is now in the glove box (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) A simple overflow bottle sits in the grille, and heat/ cool osmosis continually bleeds the system . VW never got this right, and requires system bleeding.

Ahh, so it's the original LT1 from the 60s, not the Gen II Lt1 from the mid 90s. I was wondering what you had done about the cam driven water pump, but obviously you didn't have one to deal with. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
Cool stuff, that must be a blast to drive. Any plans to convert it to a syncro? I'd hate to see what a 3 output trans would cost that could handle a V8. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |
