mrbigtanker Posted October 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Next waiting on balancer so i can put that pussy DatRod to work. Need to install the crank wheel. 2 Quote Link to comment
shacks510 Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 I used skateboard bearings to space the rad from the lip of the core support. I shaved it a bit too because I didn't mind doing so. 1 Quote Link to comment

mattyhacks71 Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 That looks really nice especially with the shroud. Very clean 1 Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 looks really good. but i don't think your shroud bolts are long enough. :thumbup: 1 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted October 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 looks really good. but i don't think your shroud bolts are long enough. :thumbup: I will run rubber isolates when ready its just holding it out of the way. got to mount the new balancer once i get it and install the trigger wheel. 1 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted October 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Did some shopping today, got the LS1 coils and bracket from powder coat shop. mocked up and looks good to me. DatRod will help me make a bracket to mount to valve cover bolts. 4 Quote Link to comment
shacks510 Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 That's a cool spot for the coil packs, but I think it'd be a pain in the ass with them mounted with the valve cover bolts, and them getting in the way when adjusting valves. I guess you could remove everything when you take the valve cover off... 1 Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 That's a good point. There's a thick (I expect) spot right between the middle two spark plugs. Round, rough aluminum where they cast it from I'd assume. You could tap a mount to that. 1 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted October 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 I can look at that idea. How ever it should be fine with the idea I have in mind. I also was going to look at make a bracket useing 1 coil over top mount bolt and go against the strut area. But we will see. Working all week so it will be a few days before i can move along. 1 Quote Link to comment

Don't want to make holes there! Quote Link to comment
shacks510 Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 How often do you think he's going to adjust the valves? ^_^ Probably only once to "get them close" for its first start, if he doesn't sell it before then :lol: 1 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted October 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Probably only once to "get them close" for its first start, if he doesn't sell it before then :lol: Never going to adjust them just drive the ugly piece of shit. On another note where is my dam wheels. Quote Link to comment
shacks510 Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Just drive with it sounding like miracas and bitch about how much noise it makes. Never fix it, just bitch about it. 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Never fix it, just bitch about it. That is the Datsun way. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: 1 Quote Link to comment

DatRod will help me make a bracket to mount to valve cover bolts. This won't work. To heavy so making a mount to install on strut tower area. should still look good. Quote Link to comment
shacks510 Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 What about on the center of the wiper cowl? I think that'd look cleaner. 1 Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 What about a bracket onto the block? Just go lower. 1 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Mount on top of valve cover, notch hood for clearance :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted October 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 What about a bracket onto the block? Just go lower. Was thinking of that Hawaiian. But not much to mount to. Quote Link to comment
