You will sling belts without the extra pulley.

NAPA part # 36101
 
What bolt did you use Zack?

Edit: never mind. Looking through my junk I see you just used a longer cover bolt.

Edit edit: no you didn't..

Question; I know this sounds silly, but would the cooling mod still be as effective without capping the redundant COT line to the heater core (red line below)? I am guessing water would flow out of the head in both directions (the new cooling lines, and the COT). I wouldn't want to cause some of the flow to just go around in circles by leaving the red line open.

^Exactly how I plan to do mine - this is how the 2v is setup on panthers.

Also kinda curious to thoughs on it.

Meaning you intend to cap the COT as shown in the diagram or leave it open so water flows out from both directions?

Sorry. I will be deleting the heater nipple on the COT, and connecting my cooling mod fittings directly to the heater core - removing the entire red section.

Keeping this thread updated. I took Monday of with the idea of swapping engines over a three day weekend. I was able to drive the car to work today so I am pretty stocked I pulled this off. I wouldn't have done it without a bunch of you guys bailing me out though and without the goog Lord who not only bumped the engine into alignment with the transmission for me, but kindly waited until stupid me pulled my fingers out of a bad situation after trying to feel if the flexplate was binding things up.

Here's the weekend swap thread and below few pics. The larger displacement, Cobra 98 cams, stall converter and rear cat delete did something alright. The car feels more raw. More like a machine and less like nice sedan.

And the finish product.

Looks good! Those cam covers look very nice!

How is the converter with the tune you have? Like or a bit to get used to?
 
A tune may be good, but it isn't too bad. It is a bit abrupt during cruising with a light tap of the gas. The car feels like it shifts and it is ready to keep going with the slightest amount of throttle, but when I let off the gas it I feels like a "come on man, I thought we were going".

The car no longer has a low end slow build up, probably more to do with the larger displacement and the advanced intake cams than a stall converter thing though.

One more thing, the car loves going uphill!! No Stall converter issues there. I find myself looking for routes with hills to climb. Lol

Your load tables are probably way off due to the increased displacement. Needs a tune for sure.
 
Well, I was going to wait until after the blower install, but maybe I'll enjoy the NA setup a bit longer, in which case I'll get a tune.

Assuming I stay NA a little longer, would it make sense to tune the car with the other parts I already bought such as the return fuel system, larger injectors, etc.? The idea would be to see the max potential of this setup in NA form (not that I expect much), but also test the parts, some of which are used. Or would it be best to keep these other things stock?

^^^^^^^ I see what you did there^^^^^^^^

I agree, it would be stupid to pay for 2 dynos, especially if you have everything to install the Pro Charger. Get 'er done any pay for 1 tune.
