waynekarnes Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 well ... new JTR radiator,mounting brackets and, the fan mounting straps ... $240, 114 for short the hi-flow stewart aluminum water pump, $50 for the taurus fan ( plus the one i bought off ebay ... supposedly the mercury version is thinner ... 80 for that one, nor will we consider the zirgo 14 inch 2800 cfm fan for 100, that i got talked out of using, because it won't work ). so ... $584 ... to get that taurus fan to work ... i think most everyone knows that i paid $450 for the whole scarab z, a little over a year ago . HMMMM ??? did some one recently ask what it cost to build a V8 z ??? LOL .. anyway, with the shorter water pump,plus the extra room provided by the JTR radiator, and if i offset the taurus 2 spd fan, it looks like it's gonna work. oh, as an added bonus, i get to buy a new alternator mount, new pulleys, and belts ... i also found that unless i want to hunt down a whole 'nuther bracket set up, i can't use the smog pump ( this was a certified ca. smog legal engine replacement ) ... so ... removed the smog pump, removed all the plumbing ... need to get the plugs for the exhaust manifolds and cap off the egr valve on the intake manifold. original bolts too long for water pump ... will finish this all up after christmas ... after a few simple mods ... might have the z running again ... not driveable, but running ... still need to finish the body work ...

peej410 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 why didnt you just buy the jtr mount kit to set the motor back, that and the dshaft woulda been cheaper then you could sell the scarab kit http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/peej410/detail?.dir=b912&.dnm=b768.jpg&.src=ph this is what i did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
