PROCOMP sbc cylinder heads

[arneoe]

I have no started the engine yet. It has been sitting for quite some time now while I have been working with the suspension such as new rebuilt T/A’s, diff and steering column. Steeroids, VBP front mono spring kit with modified control arms, TRW mono spring and Bilstein shocks will also be installed. My 35 year old C3 was not ready safely to take such an engine with so much power. I am planning to make the engine swap coming summer. I just now am trying to modify my engine set up with a serpentine belt system taken from a 1992 van. I am waiting for spring and warmer weather after a long and cold winter.

Sure looks good, if it runs as good you will be happy.

As for serpentine setup, Why not buy a 3rd gen F body setup, a much cleaner setup and bolt on. Do note that most if not all GM serp. setups require a reverse rotation water pump

I am using the TBI system from a V6 and it looks OK and did not cost much. The water pump was shot (full of rust), but a replacement part was less than 50USD. I’ll try an under drive wheel on the crank to gain space from the cross member.

That comment gave me a good laugh!! thanks a lot .... Well the metric system ain't easy for our very close friends on the other side of the big pond. As I can see from the Internet your U.S. Metric Association (USMA) was founded in 1916 .... LOL...

My son thinks and works in metric, this olde phardt still stuck in the old inches think......:hissyfit: but I am starting to know metric sizes at a glance, all the small **** I have sockets and wrenches for, the larger stuff I still use the old inch measure on, it seems to work fine, but not 15mm.....

what I hate most is Torx 50 billion sizes damn frustrating to deal with....

:drink:

Just in case you might have not noticed, the water pump impeller in post #93 is reverse rotation and the pulleys in post #91 are normal rotation.

Yes I have noticed the different rotations for serp and std system water pumps. I have not decided yet which system to go for first. I'm not in a hurry so I'll see what brings. Anyway, thanks for the information.
