The turbo and manifold are black because that was stated to the most resilient color.

Yeah it looks like the strap in that thread above is the one Horton supplies, just modified to attach to the OBS AC bracket.
Will make a separate thread for the fan clutch (and CCV4500 if I end up going that route) so that info is easier for others to find.
Got the total seal rings today. Cost for them to do all of the 2nd rings was 90 dollars so a no brainer to me.

This seems to be the go to thread when talking rod bolt supply issues.
ARP studs for PMR’s.
https://canadiandieselonline.ca/ford...-arp-250-6302/
This pricing is in Cad so 30% less for USD.
Didn’t call to make sure he has them in stock.

Have been acquiring measurement tools for this build (and for future uses in hobby machining). Got outside mics, bore gauge, mag stand for dial indicator (runout)... since I got ARP rod bolts now I'd like to clamp them measuring bolt stretch vs torque as it should be more accurate. I don't really want to buy a single purpose measuring tool like ARP's bolt stretch gauge; has anyone tried using a outside mic with a ball end on the anvils?

@PriusLover I've never used interchangeable tips on an outside micrometer, but I would think that if you can get good contact surfaces it would be ok. The special tools look to used a dial indicator where you can read it quick as you "rock" it to find the sweet spot. As with a mic, you're going to want to be on a repeatable surface. I might be inclined to surface grind the ends of the bolts parallel. A lot of work for 16 of them though.
