Yes, and thanks Rick for those measurements you gave me last year. I had Ross Machine make these, as I think I mentioned when we spoke. It should be fun to see how I will be attaching them. Luckily there is a ton of metal at the bottom between the injector holes. I still have to have them nickel plated.

Its was great to get center to center hole spacing though. You probably saved me an entire weekend of measuring and remeasuring.

I am not sure what requirements you have for the other items, but I know with the cell I have, there is adequate room on either side for the pumps. Are the all going to be electric in your case or are you going to drive them from an axle, etc.?

All electric, including the PS pump. The axle drive is always interesting though.

I understand that, but you may require a higher output alternator to run it, right? Plus the potential problems of an electrical issue resulting in PS loss. I understand that it has value, but isn't the value very slight in comparison to the potential problems and costs? Just curious.

oh, I was just taking a stab at it----he'll have to tell you what he's really up to, but if I was doing it it would be to get rid of as much hp/pulley drag---it's usually about 10 hp per pulley (so my drag racer buddies say...)
so, that being said, figure the fan clutch, p/s pump, air pump, a/c compressor, and then a bigger pulley on the alternator to slow it down, and your talking maybe close to 50 hp gain?
just a thought-

Maybe. But wouldn't it be cool? What I am trying to do as a whole is not only reduce weight, but relocate it to off the front. Making, hopefully, the car much more apt to turn in quickly. Its an organic sort of design parameter, as I did not think to roll the fenders - I am trying to not "add weight" on the front so I have to run huge width tires - making the car feel heavy. Ah, who knows.

All true. Its just seemed like a cool idea.
