Re: Project Madera: A Jimmy GT
Mounting it up is not so big a deal it has these nice iron wings on it, more the issue is the dyslexic manner it's laid out. Alternator and air conditioning compressor bolt directly to the block (no brackets) on the drivers side, and the power steering pump sits on a combo bracket with the belt tensioner on the passenger side, meaning both the air conditioning compressor and the power steering lines need to cross sides to be in the right place. Heat in/out are on opposite sides of the block and the radiator hi/lo are opposite sides from, well pretty much any other GM engine. So I need a custom backwards radiator and I guess I'll be running a bundle of lines between the rack and crossmember on the Porterbuilt drop member.
