S197 3V Fabman's build; How did we get here? Build Thread

[Fabman]

Hopefully he stands behind his work.

Hard to say, he did say no guaranty on race transmissions but Jeez, 15 laps and it puked all the fluid out?

He was hootin’ and hollering’ afterwards, he had an exceptionally good time.

Sal ho much time on the alternator? Boss 302 kit is best value. Also battery type? I had nothing but trouble using anything other than Motorcraft OEM AGM or finally Braille. Every other lightweight solution I tried caused weird electrical faults and alternator failures. I do have that pulley if you still are interested.

Seems like I get about a year or so out of them.
I use a boss 302 alternator with a very short belt so most of the kit is wasted, I have a few of them brand new if anybody wants a new belt and idlers. I’ve been using an antigravity 780 cca battery. I think I have the pulley sourced locally already but I’ll let you know if that falls through.

Electric water pump can't be doing that battery any favors. I went through an Anti gravity in 2 months. Put a Motorcraft in it, the weight won't be terrible and it will give you the reliability you seek. JMHO. Good luck getting back out there.

Boss alternator kit belt/idler? I'll take one. I've still got the stock stretchy belt and was wondering if the idler would make it any quieter (that old TSB, ya know). It's on my long term to-do list.

I just have the long belts and idlers, no tensioners.
