Thanx. What could've ended up as a 5.0 equipped drag car is now a little bit closer to original. Mike did a superb job on the car resto.

(Softly, quietly, respectfully) It would have been really nice if there was ONE, single, consolidated thread about this great car. Because:
What's the story (I must have missed it) on the G3 alternator mount? Which thread is it in?

Alternator mount never mentioned in any threads, specifically. You, Sir, are the first to ask.
Full serpentine pulleys and brackets are from turbo coupe. Mentioned in post #67 in my build thread. The turbo coupe alternator gave way to the alternator that you see.

Sorry for too many threads. Tried to stick to original build thread (in my sig) and then the debut/book release.

Thanks for straightening me out.

How well does the intercooler work with no air going through it? I know the early cars were non intercooled so I guess if your running stock 84 non ic boost level then it should be fine, I'm just curious, love the outcome of the car.
