I totally agree
I can see it being too big ,  i think it was bought for outright speed not drive ability

Wayne, the thread size is standard M8, I just just normal bolts in mine.

It think with the full bridge it will be just fine, it's going to pull hard up the rev range for sure I rekon.

Cosmo plates, nice. Wouldn't mind some of those myself. They have the largest stock ports of all the plates

Yep
Roughly 13mm on the height, that’s a lot

Question
If I use electric water pump like this
I then won’t have a thermostat .
How long would the engine take to warm up properly without one .
With my RX8 I always make sure I have decent oil temp rather than water temp before I turn it off when starting from cold

Wayne, the race car has always had an electric pump and it warms up probably no longer than a normal car, make sure you wire it to run all the time though, as that way you will never run the risk of damaging the engine by forgetting to turn it on.

I see you have a side mount alternator bracket.
That was the biggest mistake I made because a stock alternator won’t fit because the chassis rail is in the way.

If you read my thread, first of all I ran a small motorsport alternator and it couldn’t keep up with the fuel pumps.
Cost me a fortune having a custom alternator made using the small body with special internals.

Clive I remember reading about your alternator , it cost you a small fortune
I plan on using  SPA gauges which I had with the electric water pump which SHOULD kick the pump in and keep it running when it hits target temperature
Sounds  good
Not sure yet tho .........
Thanks for the advice

Sorry boss
I did take the alternator off tho for a good swing
I used heat by means of a grinder
It’s bloody tight
Eventually will be beaten back further and welded
It’s a bit tight for the upper intake too
Needs to go back another inch yet
