Tubo   I was able to use the hoses on the ac that were already on. I'm going to get new hoses from the firewall with 90's and route them thru the wheelwell. U'r right about the belt squeal from the alt. It's not the electrical load but rather spinning up the mass of the rotor.  Gonna put a idler pulley twixt the alt and ac comp.

6sally6  The cam is the mildest thumper cam from comp cam. Specs - 107 lobe seperation, .531 lift intake, .515 exhaust, duration at .050 intake 227 exhaust 241, 79 degrees of overlap. Sounds better live than it did in the video. Won't drive in gear below 2000 rpm without jerking. I do get to use first gear now(never could before comfortably) with the 3.73 rear gear. Still puts a big ol smile on my face when she gets going.
