6-71 & Mechanical Fan, and other questions.
Yeah. After months of life getting in the way, I'm finally getting somewhere.
Got most of the 340 together, and then set the intake/blower, valve covers, fan, etc on the engine temporarily so I could start mocking up the brackets to mount the accessories.
Ended up going with a Sanden SD709 A/C Compressor instead of the York compressor, didn't have enough space for the York. No new pics, but I have the brackets for the A/C Compressor finished and the rest of the accessories reuse the stock brackets.
Now I just have to order the engine paint (nobody stocks Hemi Orange, since it's not a chevy color :protest: ) and pull the accessories, valve covers, blower/intake, etc back off and finish prepping the block/heads/timing cover for paint. (also has new brass freeze plugs now). Then its time for the final assembly and I can move on to finishing up the rest of the car.
If all goes well (it never does...) I hope to have the car together and on the road again by spring.
