Hi all. UPDATE Frame #246

[95Blitz]

Got an email today saying, ETA for delivery of 7-27. We will see.

 

[Ark :D]

That's a moderately quick delivery. Gotta remember, in these times of COVID-19, we're lucky DF is even doing business on the kit car side.

Oh guess I should have stated for the donor...

Welcome! Where are you located? Details on the donor? Build plans?

Holy ****, scratch what I said then, that's terrible!

Southeast Alabama, details check first post as it's still setting at Copart, plans std frame city full doors make my own body work. Other than that not much else is known right now.

I was going to say. I ordered my DF Kit on 5/5 and still waiting for it to ship due to supplier delays.

So the crappy auto transport company still hasn't pickup my donor...... Not sure this project will ever get started.

wow... they need a reminder of all the extra storage fees that are adding up for them to pay.

I'm thinking they won't have to pay those because Copart set this up. But if they do it's up to 775 @ $25 a day.... Almost what I payed for the delivery.

Time to take the contract to legal council to determine what parts of it are inv violation and if you have a legal resource and possible financial compensation.

If I had a frame or even a place to store the cobalt I would think about it. But at this point i'm good with just bugging the transport company and copart every week or so.
Oh yeah update. Donor should be picked up tomorrow 7/31. Even the lady at Copart said "lets see what happens this time."

 

[Ross]

Could you take a picture of the front of the motor (pulleys) from straight on and post it please?

Here is the front, without the AC compressor pump.

Also, @7:30 in this video, you can see the front of the engine.

 

[95Blitz]

Thank you Ross, hey is that the engine mount above the idler pulley?

 

[Rttoys]

Yes

 

[95Blitz]

Thanks. Rttoys.

Now seeing how I still don't have my donor I can't tell if I can make this work with the LSJ head or not.

Well that physically may work, that is not good belt to pulley contact on the alternator. Also not sure if it matters but I believe that’s turning the alternator backwards. Also not sure if it matters but I believe that’s turning the alternator backwards

Good wrap on the supercharger, not so much on the alt. Did you swap to the LNF tensioner?

Beat me to it, I think the alt will work either direction.
