S&P mounts not working?!?

[NITROUS]

Don't you have to reverse the adapters on a V6 pullout or is that if you use the stock brackets? How about some input Greg?

From past posts, you only need to reverse if using the stock 4.3 brackets.

OK, I couldn&#39;t remember. the engine sure looks like it&#39;s sitting forward a bit but the mounts look like they&#39;re in the right location on the crossmember. You got me bro............................

Yeah, he unbolted the V6 mounts and bolted V8 mounts onto the crossmember just like I did when I did my 92&#39;s conversion.

I was reading in the Part number thread that someone stated the S&P mounts move the engine farther forward than necessary, 1.25" I think it said. ANy idea if the template you guys are using is different?

I guess I&#39;ll try searching for the drawing and compare measurments.



I&#39;ve got another question for everyone. I&#39;m putting in my fuel pump and wondering how everyone hooked up the wires. I assumed the only way is to splice the stock wires w/ the walbro wires. Just wondering if that is safe inside the gas tank. ALso, does anyone know if heat shrink tubing will deteriorate in the gasoline? not sure if I should use that to cover the connections or if I should use a posi-lock connector instead.

my pump came with an adapter for the electrical connectors. if you have to splice an solder them, cut one wire short and the other long so that when you have them in the tank there is no way they can touch each other, shorting out. You don&#39;t need to insulate/heat shrink the wires. The electical current doesn&#39;t flow very well through gasoline compared to running through the wiring of the motor.

I thought I would update this topic incase anyone needs the info in the future.

As for my manifolds not fitting. They still don&#39;t, but the truck manifolds fit with all kinds of room.

I had ordered S&P headers, that were supposed to take a week to build, then after 2 weeks of waiting, were going to take another 2 weeks. So I picked up a pass. side truck manifold from the junkyard and all is well

Now I just need to find some flanges to bolt up to the manifolds.
