All Things Chev

OK, have the dual vee pulley installed, bracket in place, belt sorted out and DCV mounted ready for the hose guy. Couple of picks. The DCV is mounted behind the winch, which gives good access for installation, direct to winch and at the right height for the reservoir. Hope this helps PhilAttachment 70359Attachment 70360Attachment 70361

Bit of an update. The 2" pulley did not have enough surface area and would slip when the pump was idling, probably a combination of diameter and material(aluminium.) I have since changed this to a cast iron pulley of 3" PCD and much better outcome. The speed is slower, however I made a simple throttle lever to increase speed to circa 750rpm and the line speed is in the range of 4.5 - 6m/minute which is fast enough for what I use it for, and it will do this all day without effort if required.

OK, back at square 1 again. Sump replaced, springs replaced, alternator replaced, added new Safebrake brake lines, hydraulic winch sorted and operational, working on mounting the additional 200a alternator and endless air compressor over the next week or so, then ready to start getting out again! Can't wait to be honest.

Only thing outstanding is valid GVM documentation from WA.

I have a general Q. SteveO's got a G60 with a 350 chev in it, it needs replacing. Whats the best option ? I'm told we can get a crate motor landed in Thomastown ( melb) for about $2500.

We used to get Chev's and Clevelands from Eagle Auto Spares on the South Gippsland hwy Dandenong, its been a long time so not sure what they're still like or pricing these days. They always had donks in stock for quick changeovers in the old days.

Crate motor will be easiest. Pretty sure the mob MB mentioned still do quite a bit of this gear. They really arent that dear to rebuild either unless the block is shagged. Good time to take it out to 383 or 400ci....
