Maybe they already deleted the baby cats. Does the SN95's longer bellhousing make the interference worse? Either way, plz reinstall to check for me when I do this in 2050. :) After you do it a few times it's not that bad! Quote Selected
BlueBird Reply #95 – January 30, 2019, 03:37:16 PM The clocking for the clutch for the clutch arm is at 9 o'clock on a fix, and more like 7 o'clock on the sn-95 bell housing. Mine was okay till I ate the motor mounts behind my v-8. I ended up taking the heat shield off to make sure it didn't rub, but I never had an issue. Quote Selected
BlueBird Reply #96 – January 31, 2019, 10:18:13 PM For all my scope creep enablersTempted to just cap the lower pipe, I convinced myself to "do it right" and remove the system entirely. What a hassle. Could likely do it again in about 30mins now that I know where to cut....Oh, and since I am messing around with the FEAD on a 3.8 I have no intent to keep, why not clear out room for an e-fan? So much space for activities now! Quote Selected

BlueBird Reply #98 – February 07, 2019, 10:06:27 PM The tedium continues. There were a handful of things that needed addressed before I can start test fitting T5 bits. With the thermactor pump and lines out of the way, I measured, purchased, and installed a shorter belt. I also got the e-fan mounted. Controller is fixed to the shroud, I will finish the wiring later.Then, back under the car to handle a couple broken manifold studs where the y-pipe attaches. I really, really didn't want to pull the manifolds....Weld a nut onto the busted stud, alternate heat and PBlaster, and pray. I snapped each side another time, then the second attempt on the left manifold was successful. The right manifold stud snapped off three more times, with the final break flush at the . It got drilled thru. :mad: Quote Selected
