968 V8 Swap Thread
#4
The yellow 944 is in Canada. I sold the body/rollcage and the car is back on the track with a new owner. I think Tom is building a car for someone else. My current project is a 968 that Tom helped me find.
Here are my fasteners etc. ready for zinc plating and some pieces ready to be anodized.

From the angle of the picture, the alternator and A/C compressor looks lower than what I remember. I could be wrong though. Thought I would mention that area, just in case. Outside of that, everything looks great, and I bet you are saving a ton of weight running the plastic block and heads.

Some folks feel: 1) that the alternator is more securely fastened with the CTS-V (Corvette) style and 2) the late model LSx water pump is better (the CTS-V allows for the later water pump to be used without 0.75" spacers.
I am using a 3.5" thick radiator and I want as much fan as I can squeeze in there. The low profile fans don't seem to be enough in certain conditions.

Have people had issues with the alternator falling off? I sure haven't. I don't think I have any spacers on with my water pump, I had a stock F body pump until recently when I got an Evans Cooling one from TonyG.
I have the RH/RD radiator, it's pretty large, along with the Spal fan. I wouldn't mind swapping that out for the Mercury Cougar/Ford Probe dual fan setup, but I haven't had any issues with the Spal fan so far.
That's at altitude with triple digit heat plus track work...
