I've asked for pics, and he responds with "no". I was beginning to think he wasnt working on it. But I went out a month ago and sure enough hes busted serious ass.

Completely unrelated , but I'm AL bound next week to pick up the double nickel 
It'll probably be re done again before this unit. But then again its on tractor hiems and broken dreams for suspension

Ricks been making progress coming off his win in Salt Lake City. I plan on heading out to Lake Havasu on Aug 1 to go over some stuff (fitament), I'll try to remember to take pics this time.

Howe 10x20 dual aircleaners mounted.
See the radiator is mounted
Some crazy belt routing to get the Howe TT pump mounted up over the right head.
And the kicker. Switched from the Mast pan to a Canton frontsump and looky looky where the drain plug ended up. Of course thats where it was going to be, we shoulda known and expected it.

Its definitely camera angle. They are IIRC 12" apart on the axle, and 40" apart at the chassis.
But even that said, those are highly consumable items on this thing. Been told 500 race miles and replace.

RCV is knocking stuff out as well. And HUGE props to Thomas at Spidertrax. Not only gave me all the dimensions I'd need to run with their stuff. Also checked RCV's work, and had to make a correction and make an inquiry. As well as is making the bushing spacers for the bell. Spidertrax is the company others should strive to be.
I guess this is top secret details...

I have a belt routing question. is that a spring tensioner pre-load? It ought to be the last thing or at least after the last load adding device (pump/alt). If there is a pulling force after that it will overpower the spring. If that is an adjustable static then awesome. Still think there will be a shitload of force on it with that pump being fed power right off it (feeding belt to it).

Yep, see what you're saying. Hadn't thought about it like that.
And knowing that all stock config LS's immediately come off the crank to the spring tensioner.
I think after talking post-pump Load, and other factors on the belt as well as placement and wrap.
That sprung tensioner is going to get replaced with an idler, and then a manual adjust "set & forget" built for over the top of the waterpump.
Appreciate the input.

Well after a lot of discussion and my "weird ass" waterpump, I mean stock new bodystyle Camaro, Rick came up with a plan for the idler on the right head right off the crank.
So he mocks up an idler he has off an LS and goes to work. making the mount, spacing it right, cycling everything and making sure it was going to work.
Then headed down to the parts house to pick up a new idler. WHOMP the 2010 Camaro idler fits perfect without a spacer or the new fangled bracketry Rick spent hours making. Dee Daa Dee. I just laughed, he was ready to throw hammers.
So the silver lining is we now have a bracket to use the older style tensioner on, if ever this one dies and we are in BFE and cant find the newer style.
This **** should work right?
Only took this many tries to make it happen perfect.
HA HA GM you got us!
Notice the thicker shinier new one. No bracket required.

awesome. Either way that is an F up averted.
You should see the pile of brackets from my build when I made mounts to move the PS pump way up and the Alt over to the other head. I bet I had a pile of parts twice that big laughing1

Spent the morning at TTF with Rick going over stuff. Took some pics, most need rotated which I cant do on my phone.
Car is really coming along. There is some really good and kinda bad stuff to still work out. And with each step forward it become very clear DSI hadnt forward thought all that far. Once its said and done i dont think much of the original will still be there. LOL
Belly under motor has to go. Driveshaft when axle drooped on that side and lifted on the driverside gets into it pretty bad. Likely taking the oil pan and lopping 1"1.5" off the passenger side capacity.
Shafts dont fit. No surprise there. DSI had some crazy plan to use them with a broached unit bearing, but with the prohubs they got to grow 1" eachside.
Rick claims done in early Oct, Im betting November.

I stopped in at Campbells. Shannon was the only one there. Talk about getting more information in 45 minutes than a years worth of pirate reading or facebook heresay.
The area over the top of the motor is coming together TIGHTLY!
Exhaust is going to be interesting. Think we are going to use a shop in Kingman.
Howe resi mount.
Tray for the Ron Davis heat exchanger.
Rear axle is done, just waiting on new shafts, the ones I had were 1" too short since I went to the prohubs. DSI had some crazy idea to broach Unit Bearings and try to make those shafts work, you just cant grow the shafts, right.
Currie is carving up some gundrilled 300m 40 spline. Can we get a stack of money on fire emoticon??? Seriously!
clean caliper mount
This is a pretty good view of the oiling situation. Accumulator under the seat, filter assembly is the black thing on the belly rail just in front of the oil pan. Oil pan is a Canton Drifter pan for an LS, in front sump configuration, i.e. rear of car.
See where Rick moved the drain plug to, and a better look at where the remote oil filter goes.
Accumulator, the open area on the right under the driverseat is where the parker pumpers get mounted.
Upper shock & bypass mounts are now boxed.
Trailering arms are done
Head mounts are getting deleted for a midplate. Wayne"ZukIzzy" Isrealson built the oilbath, carrier bearing assembly for us. A very nice piece.

DSI is such a chump.
You will detect a small amount of sarcasm here, but I seriously have to see you driving this thing.

^^^^ for sure LOL. going to have to mount tires on the roof!!! I'm like a good dog, can rollover on command!
Kelly and I got to talking about this the other night. This thing completely got away from me. Its a good thing, but still. When I bought the project, I planned a very very budget deal, that I did myself. Now is all blinged and ballered out, and I aint touching it!
I think I need to hire someone to haul it back and forth from AZ twice between Nov & Feb, any takers? I dont want to do that 22hour drive anymore than I have to. Who wants to party in Parker the weekend before KOH? Bluewater Casino!!!
Oh yeah Bones, I almost text you yesterday, was getting gas at that station you sideswiped the Canadian Farmers at in 2009. :****:
