Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
So........Continuing on with the A/C compressor mounting .........Again.......I made the same lower mount I made for the LSA engine and when installing it I found out the LS2 had different Belt spacing on the Balancer......I measured the difference and started over today on a revised version........LOL.....Again....this is guess work until you actually put it together and see those clearance issues.......I had the other version draw up in Solidworks so I revised it to be what I now thought it should be.......Here are some pic's of designing and making the brackets......Brought them home and other than some clearance issues with the upper piece it went together perfectly......

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
Nothing better than a clean fab print! Can I have you teach some of the people that I have to deal with? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
Checked off a couple more things on the to do list.....When I first looked at the space available for the A/C compressor.....I thought "No Problem"......LOL.......well I had to go with the smaller SD7 and with that I have about a 1/2 " clearance all around, but....It is in and in it's final position.......No room for a tensioner so I'll just keep the turnbuckle in place.......Had to turn over the upper mount and modify it for clearance for the A/C fittings......but it's all good now........
   The next thing to resolve was the Injector/Coil issue........Thru recommendations I bought a set of Holley valve covers than change the mounting position of the coils........Bingo......

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
A/C lines finished and installed.........The Heat Exchanger also showed up and needs to be mounted.......I also got the "O" ring tank seal that I needed to finish up the Tank installation (threw out the one that came with the pump with the box.......Duhhhhhh!!!)

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
Looks great! Can't wait to hear how it runs after you get it dialed in. Always a joy watching your builds.
