Absolutely love my Millweld GU airbox and custom 4” NA intake kindly done by Mill too mate! All sneaks perfectly past the Optima yellow top on its off the shelf second battery tray.
With your kind engineering experience the 38si can still be ‘Jackshaft’ mid mounted but recently leaning towards NA power steering pump relocation instead and bringing forward the beast Alt?

Good idea, watch out for the radiator hoses though from memory, or at least there is a tight spot. Also some mods to starter motor cable required. I was just able to squeeze my original hydraulic pump into a tiny hole there, but its half the size of the monster. Anyway, keep dreamin' about it.Originally Posted by MB

Will do thanks for the reminder Philstar! Most yanky trucks have the TS rad outlet opposite of which would be able to De-Aussie switch back if needed.
I’d best get back to Santa wrapping kiddies pressies in the shed instead of Cheving :-)

All done, nothing left but to skull some milk and crush cookies near the tree, messy fat bugger he is!!
FWIW: Alternator positioning experienced on all dusty wet Aussie trucks including our custom beasts is critical, albeit depending on ones highway only possible needs.
Some latest model LandCrabs near oil sump locations are proof of this according to an aftermarket wholesale manufacturer speaking with of sealed water cooled alternators fetching thousands of dollars to mine spec etc....

Just in case you guys don't know, I'll be running the Marks 4WD Hydroboost setup hence no vac pump.
Still interested about the 8 rib thing, as when at GM Powertrain I designed FEADs ( Front End Accessory Drives) and had no durability issues with 6 ribs, but then maybe something has changed.
Santa tracker has him on time guys......
Merry Christmas to you all.

BD run a vac boosted clutch assy which makes the pedal feather light = are you doing something else instead? I have the hydro boost on the list also. great bit of established hardware.

There are a couple of guys running the 6 rib on the Harrop s/c and finding excessive belt stretch. Harrop know about it as they have a higher performance kit for the LS motors avail in 8 rib. I had not heard about it until speaking with the owner of one of the vehicles in WA and he was running out of belt adjustment every 10,000klm. BD blame Bullet for not upgrading from the start, but now it will be offered as a standard I believe.
