updates on fairmont 3 today

started eyeballing a intercooler into the car today, going to give our regular small intercooler a try as a fair test of power difference, then i might go stupid later like large custom 4 inch core or air to water intercooler setup.

but for now i think a good test of is the turbo and hotside better, is using the same intercooler we always do.

got the radiator mounted up in the car

88 mustang gt upper rad hose, cherokee lower rad hose

had to cut the lower rad support, *its double layered* dropped that rad about 2.5 inches down to make it flush

that is the truck alternator bracket drilled out and shoved on sideways

have to credit my friend for coming up with that one, and a 69 inch belt from AZ teeing it all together.

Prototype alternator bracket

Test fitting is looking pretty good everything is fitting nicely all I need to do now is get a belt that fits correctly I'm past my first one already I'm trying a 48 inch belt next

lost the serp belt today

kicked the belt off this thing today while pedaling 2nd gear hard, decided to try just for fun, building an alternator sheild so its harder for it to throw the belt off it, i am assuming its kicking it off the alt since its the smallest pulley with the least surface area. so cut this out of an old flex plate hahah

and a nice shot of the car while pulled over boiling over hahha

Corvrtte altetnator braket and moved turbo

threw on the corvette bracket today and looked for where i wanted to put the turbo, moved it over to the right side and re did the hotside, ill grab pictures of that then also! not much else left to do on this pig, even though i am working on it slowly it will probably be done soon
