4.3 Supercharged Chevy

[Qingdao]

Heater core hardlines made up. They mate up to the Porsche soft lines.











I'm really stoked at how well and fast this is going. Not much more but to route the coolant outlet to the Porsche outlet. Then rebuild the engine/clean everything up, and turn the key.

THEN on to "stage II". I gotta rebuild like everything else... ugg. But that's just spending money on suspension/tires no real hard work.

Started with my adaptor plate.






And simply drill holes.








And then mockup, just for fun... cause I can't take it anymore.

Well, I just gotta say that I thought that getting the engine to fit in the 986 was going to be the challenge... BOY was I wrong. That was super easy compared to making a draw through M90!! But its done now





^^^ That's the 4.3's LIM




^^^ that is a 3/4" chunk of aluminium that has holes drilled in it.




^^^ there is the blower with a spread bore/square bore plate bolted to it.

FINALLY done with fabrication/welding. (except for the A/C hoses)

The supercharger and carburetor are all mounted up. and the belt is routed... note the poor picture addendum LOL










^^^^ that's a stock idler pulley... I just happened to find a little hole in the ac bracket that had just the right threading and just the right spacing to make for PERFECT supercharger belt wrap.

Waiting for the machine shop seems to take forever. But it'll be worth the wait when I have that clean block.

In the mean time I got a fuel tank. And re-furbished it a little. Should fit in the back trunk; at least I hope it fits in the back trunk.



^^^ Electrolysis is the best.



^^^ acid etched with POR15 metal prep.




^^^ and good ole rustolem for the finish.
