fastzcars Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Hello gents! hopefully you guys can help me. I'm in the process of installing a vortech supercharger and I want to make an Air con/alternator bracket for the passenger side. I tried the cardboard and hammer method but the accuracy is not that great. I looked on the web and couldn't find any machine drawings of the accessory bolt holes for the SBC heads! does anyone know where I can find some? Thanks!!!

fastzcars Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) well guys after looking through the web for 2 days straight i finally found just 3 pictures of the bolt holes that I was looking for! I can't believe that the SBC been in production since 55 and I could only find 3 pix? Well here they are just in case someone needs this info later. The march diagram is kind of what I want to do, but the A/C is too low and will hit the passenger frame rail and the motor JTR motormount. So I need to mount the A/C higher up , almost to the same height as the alternator. the last pic is my pattern for the Vortech supercharger. wish me luck guys!

fastzcars Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Just an update guys! I installed the SC and I am waiting for the 10 rib serpentine belt to come in. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the huge Vortech carb box to fit under the hood? Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjhines Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Im with you on the lack of dimensions for basic SBC parts. It goes to show that rednecks have used hammers and anvils to fabricate sbc parts thus far. Eyeball engineering ftw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastzcars Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 No kinding bjhines! This Vortech has fought me every step of the way NOT to be installed !!! I had to fabricate and or modify every bracket thus far. It's like building the car all over again. But hey thats hot rodding! Right?

ritrebor Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Nice job. Maybe a cowl hood? ritrebor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnjdragracing Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 NIce project and yes that is hot rodding. Nice job on the brackets. I agree I think a cowl hood would be just fine. John Nice job. Maybe a cowl hood? ritrebor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Meister Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the huge Vortech carb box to fit under the hood? Any ideas? It looks great. Welcome to forced induction. When I had an airbox for my turbos, I lowered the engine for stock hood clearance. If you don't want to do that, but want the stock hood, maybe a carb hat would provide clearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastzcars Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 Hello there Turbo Meister! It's been awhile since we last saw each other! Yah, I finally saw the light and decided of forced induction! I do want to try to keep it all under the stock hood. Ill try lowering the crossmember and see if that's enough. As far as i can figure i need 1 inch. Im so close now I can taste the track!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
