Red Rattler Revamp

Hey Blacky does the blower put much weight/pressure against the driver side engine mount or have you compensated for it?
Neil

With Blacky’s right boot into it and the motor torquing, the drivers side mount might squish a little... the poor old passengers side mount may have a short life though...

Cheers,

Bloody engine mounts are doing my friggin head in
Fitted a dummy block with the blower and it all went in nicely , put the rebuilt motor in it and it's not even close

Did you use them off the same motor .i think Commodore ones are different location of the rubber mounting to early reds.

Good morning all nice work going on there blacky. I need more information about the fuel pump you are using. Can you use it with a V6 engine I have put a V6 engine in my FJ holden I am using the original tank are they easy to fit where do you buy from and what do I asked for. Thanks Gazza

G'day Gazza, fuel pump was an epay special , the install kit i bought from EFI Hardware in Melbourne, they have loads of different kits and would be able to help you out - measure the depth of your tank and order one to suit. This one is 4 bar pressure but they have 3 bar ones and adjustable ones too.

Be careful , pretty easy to spend too much there !!!

Blacky did you have any more info on the the part numbers for the pump and fitting kit and the tank install. Does it have a return line fitting. Just doing some research on the holley 2 barrel sniper kits atm

Standard size, 132 through XU1.


FB ute fixer upper, EK van on rotisserie

I will be running a 3/8" line which is overkill , a 5/16" line is plenty for a hot six but because I had to replace it anyway I went for the bigger stuff.

Thanks blacky look forward to them
Thanks Errol, i think i might run two new ones on the opposite side when it come time.


Blacky regarding your engine mounts not fitting now but 20 bourbons prior you swore they did maybe a reason?
Just rummaging through my parts box and found another red maybe blue motor mount , seems it would push the engine mount over nearly another inch.
