What do you guys think

 

Cool way to keep your Mickey D's coffee hot.

 

You picked that out Ha

 

Wow! Lots of shiny stuff! That really looks good. I bet it took you the better part of a Saturday to put it all in, good work.

 

Looks shiny. As a structural engineer, my only concern would be that the bracket for the PS pump no longer has the lower attachment to the side of the block. The force from the belt tension will now be reacted only through the bolts that go to the front cover.

 

Joe do you think I should add a support somehow? Thank's Steve

 

Well ain't that spiffy!

 

Typically I'm more into the original look, but I have to agree that really looks nice! John

 

Is that something you fabricated yourself or some kind of kit? It looks clean but I would support that pump like Joe said.

 

I agree with both of these last comments from TripDeuces and 2blu

It does look good considering all of that shiny stuff. Usually I "Just say no to chrome" lol, but damn, that is nice!

And add some more support if Joe says so. Otherwise all that stuff may not look so good in the future.

is that the March system ?

 

I would suggest a strut of some kind from the back of the pump to either the side of the block or the front exhaust manifold bolt, just to stop any vibration and resulting metal fatigue. One on the bottom to the side of the block wouldn't show.

 

Thanks everyone I will do that Steve
I got it from mondello in Calif

 

The whole thing looks great. The hidden support sounds great also. Another neat job on an Olds. Good Luck w/ it.

 

I agree, I ran without one, and sheared the timing tab stud off into the block
