Love the build. Admire the focus you have!
Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!
You can find some additional information about where we are in the process of migrating the board and setting up our new software here
Thank you for being a part of our community!
I then installed the alternator to make sure I would have enough room for the external wastegate. I do room... However, I have to address the issue of making left turns...
Thanks,
Are you running ac or a ps pump on the driver side? If not I would grab a 740 driver side accessory bracket and run the alternator on the top position of that.
Yeah, that?s been the hardest part of working around the front end of these. Those steering parts just tighten up the whole low portion of the engine bay.
That?s what I?ve been trying to work out. I?m thinking about designing a rack mount that uses 4 points. I was thinking that having the lca bolts and the motor mount bolts from underneath would be enough, then it would be a bolt on solution. I just need to find a narrow enough rack.
+1Also true in the 140. HUB, I bet you can get creative with a custom alternator bracket to move that up a bit.

I tried this and it didn?t really work. The bracket bolts on but there?s nowhere to bolt up the alternator. Maybe it could work if I put more time into it but I spent like $10 and 15 minutes just making a generic SBC bracket work in the stock 240 position.
Does the steering rod clear the crankpulley on a full turn? It is a known issue with a b230 in an amazon. I took one groove of my pulley on a lathe an had it ballanced, it's still verry close but not touch. Before i replaced the old gearboxmount it was still touching but with new solid motor and gearbox mounts now is fine.
I like the new daily. Also, good choice on the swirl pot. Seems to be well made, although I haven't been able to run my car with it installed yet.
