what am i missing here? i bought a rpm awhile back and guy offered this up for like 200 more. i forgot about it actualy until i was looking for something else.


what am i missing to run this? i dont guess this is running under a stock cover. this is all i got except a bag of hardware and some random air cleaner bases of some sort


i meant belt drive...lol...not in my skillset to edit the title...apparenty

I suggest you contact Wade. Or maybe he will see you post and chime in.

i been doing some googling...and im fixing to check the bag of bolts, near as i can tell im only missing the tensioner bushing, and plate.


and i think its safe to say this does not go under the cover

[JSuchma]

You are correct....... it does not go under the cover.

[lakefect]

your going to need a special oil pan also

Never thought the juice was worth the squeeze on those things. Get a Cloyes Z chain or Milodon gear drive and be done with it.
I do however have one of those sideways front mount distributor set up I might let go of at some point.
The racer had the belt drive- crank trigger and front mount distributor and ditched it all for a HEI. Runs about the same. He tossed it in with a crank trigger I bought from him.
But I am still running points with a cast iron distributor.
For most of us there is not a whole lot of power to be found in a ignition system. Just has to be quality and work correctly IMO.

honestly i dont know that ill use it, i doubt i would have bought it new. I really was only lookin for the rpm intake at the time. for the couple motors i have on the stand now i have a couple edelbrock accudrives. the rest i was just gonna get a good chain for. When i seen this i thought it might be cool on the blown 406 but.....im worried it might just complicate things for me

I have a nice oil pan set up for a BOP front plate if you do use the belt drive set up.

Not to hijack, but willing to help someone out if a pan is needed for this application.

It looks like you need the motorplate, tensioner with bolt and bearing, timing bracket, oil pan, and the belt itself. You can get a bracket for crank trigger and a front mount distributor kit.

[performerrpm]

i wonder if you can uses either motor plate full/motor only? i think i seen a needle type pointer for the cam timing but your talking about a timing bracket for the crank gear, which i didnt even think about....i do have a brand new belt tho, i may go ahead buy everything to complete it
