    Hi!

    I love the idea that you used a Chevy! What exactly did you have to do the frame and motor mounts? What happened to the Ford frame engine mounts? How was the engine width and height in the chassis?

Biography:
I'm a wrench swinging Dark Side Banker who never learned to appreciate the game of golf or tennis and I'm A-Okay with that.

A lucky fellow I am because I married my High School Sweetheart 39 years ago and we have three kids, all married, and three grand-kids.

Our MK-4 is a little different because it is powered by a 383 CID Small Block Dart in front of a ZF 6-Speed transmission.

1. 383 Small Block Dart 10-1 Somewhat Pump Gas Friendly Compression Ratio!
2. Eagle Internally Balanced Rotating Assembly With 6" H-Beam Rods With Floating Forged Flat Tops.
3. Dart Iron Eagle 215 CC Tall Port Heads with 2.05 Intake & 1.60 Exhaust Valves.
4. Harland Sharp Roller Rockers & Other Go Fast Goodies.
5. Comp Cam Extreme Energy 288 Hydraulic Roller Tappet Cam
6. Edelbrock AVS 800 Feeding A Weiand 7530 Team-G Single Plane Manifold.
7. Schoenfeld IMCA Modified Headers & They Really, Really Fit, But Stuff Had To Move A Bit!
8. New Old Stock Corvette ZF 6-Speed Transmission With Hydraulic Clutch. (.75 and .50 Overdrives)
9. Standard Front End Set Up With Mustang Brakes & Forte’s .75” Sway Bar.
10. Standard 3-Link Moser Dana 44 (TSD 500) Rear With 3.73 Gears & Explorer Brakes.
11. The wheelbase has been shortened by .875" to better center the rear wheels within the wheel arches and improve pinion angle adjustment.

While this is not the normal build, I know that the Factory Five Family is thrilled that another dream has finally come to life.

I Hope To See You All Along My Travels, In Your Dream Cars Of Course!

Electric Power Steering Pumps >>> Is Anybody Running Them?

by GoDadGo on 04-06-2016 at 10:11 AM
Hey Gang,

> A friend of mine has a Mini Cooper (2004) and he just changed the power steering pump.
> The unit is electric and quite small and he got the replace from Rock Auto and it was under $300.00.
> My question is anybody running an electric power steering pump?
> It might be a nice way to add it down the road that since the engine accessories are NOT impacted.
