![]() ![]() The mount is standard GM, although I customized it at the side of the road a few months back when I had no choice. I'm running pass-side alternator, and the p/s is from an '80 Camaro. At least a full inch, which makes a big difference when you are just skiffing speed bumps and lousy driveways (like the one they have at Classic Industries).Ī tall intake (such as an air-gap or Victor) + a tall air filter definitely will not fit under the flat hood of my '66. There is plenty of ground clearance to be gained here for a lowered car. These headers hang down with a fair amount of room between them and the underside of the floor. I think this is the same deal for the '68-'72s. I yanked the same headers that were in my BBC 2nd gen Camaro, and they fit right into the Chevelle setup. A couple of spots rubbed the frame, and a driver side primary tube just kisses the steering shaft unless you ding it a little bit. Headers on the '66 are a tight fit for 2" under chassis style. If I had chosen a short water pump setup, this might all have turned out differently.Īlso, my engine compartment is vented very well, so even in traffic on a 100-degree day, there is no overheating from soak or trapped heat. 050" aluminum, but it acts more as a finger guard, since the proximity of the fan to the rad promotes great flow. On the other hand, I have absolutely zero cooling problems, and do not need a shroud. There is hardly room to pull a fan belt between the fins and the fan. In my '66, a BBC with long water pump and clutch fan and 3-core radiator puts the fan very close to the radiator itself. The SB springs just can't do well with the dynamic (in motion) loads put upon the front end, even though they appear to hold up the car well in the driveway. Putting a rat where a mouse lived may not drop the ride height at rest much, but when you cross an intersection dip or go over a speed bump you will probably wish you had stiffer springs (at the least). The Milodon 7-quart kickout style pan is a little close to the crossmember, but does not hit it. It's the same one that was spec'd for a 327/clutch in the rad shop's reference materials. I'm using a stock-style 3 row with a clutch fan, and have no cooling problems. ![]()
