'67 Camaro E/SA redo

I see we have similar thoughts, with different approaches, on crankcase pressure.......

Rich, Can you post info on the header extensions that you had on here earlier. I thought you had a picture of some, but I don't see it. thanks

Alan - I looked into your idea, but it just did'nt seem any more flex proof than what I already had. Going to try this mount tm along with a 5-1/2" crank pulley...hoping the alternator will clear the crossmember below.

Haven't had any excessive flex issues, Rich. The crank pulley is about 3" and the belt isn't tensioned real tight, though. That bracket you have looks to be a nice setup. -Al

Still a problem in that the new bracket will not work as expected. Guess I'm going to have to whittle one out myself.

Weather permitting I'm taking it to the track this Friday evening to test the transmission repair and if the engine will perform. Perry is working on a solution for the alternator bracket atm, but it will go with or without it...I need to know if there are any problems that need attention now, not two days before the next Combo race.

Rich, I've used this alternator mount from Speedway before in early Camaro/Nova subframes using the standard Delcotron alternators:

It clears with the 'short' crank pulley and can also be spaced forward to work the 'long' crank pulley. Fits the Camaro/Nova subframes very nicely. -Al
