17 - 5/16” is correct. For c-c on rear mounts.

I have a CH 2 I can measure but I don't know if its the same as a CH 3 I would think they should be the same but who knows. I'll try to remember to measure it tomorrow and post it.

HOW DO I CHANGE THE TITLE OF THIS THREAD TO LTG SWAP?

Need to pick up some proper exhaust stud bolts. They are 10x1.5 and alternator bolts were 8x1.25

Also scored on a factory cutoff turbo exhaust flange with 90 and first O2 sensor bung for 29 dollars.

Belt I used for this setup. Compliments of a sweet lady at Advanced Auto that let me behind the counter to rummage thru all the belts

Closeup of the alternator. Probably use some blue locktight.

BRLCLA Thanks for the offer and the link. If you get a chance send me a few pics of the mounts I may take you up on that offer. I was looking at the Dorman AC delete pulleys and was considering doing something similar. I found a few that looked like they could be made to work with a little effort. I...

Starting on my motor mounts. I don’t think they are all the same but what would be an approximate or average offset from centerline of crank to centerline of the prop shaft for a gearbox.....ox box, stinger, rotator, ballistic.... and no I don’t know yet what box I’m going to end up with. At this po...

TDezso: I spoke to Rotator and thy have an adapter for the LHU but not the LTG like I have. I sent you a few pm’s.

What did you decide to do for a gearbox?

This belt routing would not allow the tensioner to work correctly but would not rub anywhere. If I could find the correct length belt I might be able to get it on and have it work properly. Or I could modify the alternator to work as the tensioner..............or just run a AC compressor. AC would b...

CAN WE FIT IT! YES WE CAN!

I have the GB13 package including the reduction unit from Aeromomnetum. He has another site for airboats and marine power units called zukipower. I have nothing but good things to say about the owner Mark. He helped me get the used boat I acquired back up and running. Always answered the phone and e...

ON THE STAND

And I posted some bad info friday on bolt sizes...it’s corrected now

The Lobell Boys got it done! Great weekend with some good kids.

Headed to the camp so you guys won't have to suffer thru any more post from me till Sunday afternoon

I spoke to Andrew at Water Walker Props. Super nice and VERY helpful. He even offered to help me get some resolution to my reduction drive issue. After speaking with Andrew I'm going to take his recommendation and go with the 73 or 74" (cage limited) Maximus 3 blade. If you were going to build your ...

This motor was in a front wheel drive car. There is a heavy duty mounting flange along the front near the top where this motor was mounted in the Malibu. Looks pretty stout. I may try to incorporate that flange into the engine stand. https://i.imgur.com/xMMIGO3.jpg Anyone have recommendations on eng...

The motor exterior is in great shape. I went thru the process of identifying the threads on the bosses that I will need to use. Trans mounting points, lifting points, and motor mount candidates. I was able to run my tap thru by hand with some lubricant to the bottom of most holes. There are two diff...

Thanks. Learn something new everyday!

I have sent a few pm's to members over the last week or two but I have two messsages in my outbox that never went.... even though it said "successfully sent" is that because those members don't receive private messages?

Thanks

Eddie.

Well, found the answer a little further down. :D Re: ECOTEC vs SBC vs O-540, A Power to Weight Ratio Discussi Postby DynaMarine » Wed Dec 03, 2014 11:33 am David - I think the trouble you will have with a multi-fit universal bellhousing is that the starter locations are different on the (2), what I'...

Found this in a post from chuck. Looks like the bolt pattern between the LTG and LNF/LHU/LDK is different. I saw in some old post from JB550 he had a LTG with a ballistic box. Did ballistic make two different bolt patterns for the ecotecs? both the LTG and LHU? Or did they just make the box for the ...
