The motor is currently at my Uncle's machine shop. From next week they'll begin designing and making an A/C mounting bracket and modifying the waterpump. Here's some pics of its current state.
Here's the SLP F-Body Underdrive. When the A/C is finally installed, we'll probably run everything off of this one pully since it will line up better than trying to get it to run off the A/C pully.
Here' you can see the heater pipes coming straight out of the waterpump. Unfortunately they go straight in to the control arms on a C3. We'll probably pull these pipes out, tap between them for bolting an adapter that will point back and up and seal with o-rings. That's the plan at the moment anyway.
Under the manifold you can see the Vettworks adapter plate and stock motor mounts. This should make for a nice mounting position in the engine compartment. You can also see the world's most expensive oil filter . . . time will tell if that was worth while or not. Looks cool
The ported truck throttle body that supposedly flows just over 1000 CFM. In conjunction with the LS6 intake, bigger cam and hi-flowing, hi-compression heads, this motor should make an honest 400 plus to the ground on a good tune and stock exhaust. We'll see
Some other angles of the motor. You can easily see the stock F-Body routing of the accessories. The A/C will go in the upper passenger side and most likely on a single serpentine. This will require relocating the tensioner which is presently mounted to the waterpump.
