You like those massive brackets up there on the pic? I plan on mounting, then if there is extra, I'm taking a hacksaw to them lol.

All this talk about reverse rotation. Am I going to have an issue with my Vbelt? Sorry, I'm slow.

 

this is turning into quite the helpful bit of info.

didn't quite understand the "redneck mod" on the P/S pump though. with a given volume exchange at a relatively constant rate...enlarging the orifice should decrease the pressure. same reason when main bearings get excessively worn, we start to lose oil pressure. i could see maybe an "easier" flow rate on the pump itself without operating towards the top end of its pressure range. it might help it last longer...then again, it might propagate cavitation prematurely also. who knows?

 

...another example of my attempt at tongue in cheek humor being misunderstood. Thanks for clarifying, Dude.

 

With the v belts you won't have any issue with reverse rotation. If you are going to run an efan, you will need twin v belts.
