Daviticus: I just used the stock A/C bracket. Volvo's came with Yorks from the factory.
Well I'm back from the machine shop. Built the short block over the weekend and snapped some pictures. Turned out quite well. Checked all the bearing clearances Saturday. Everything was well within spec and put everything together Sunday. Pulling the little red block out this weekend and dropping in the bigger red block. So stoked for this, with the parts I have I should be almost to the 400HP mark, it won't hurt my feelings if I'm closer to 350 though. on 14's it'll be a tire scorcher and that's really all I care about for this build. I used Clevite bearings and ARP hardware on everything I could. Even oil pan bolts since I was missing a few bolts from the original owner not providing me with them. Cam is a Trick Flow stage 1 and bolted to a Comp Cams timing gear set.
Never mind the over spray on the cam gear...we got that removed lol.
Mounts were shipped out today, I'll be buying some Trick Flow heads, intake and Holley carb within the next few weeks. I'm just buying it as I need it kinda basis. My T5 transmission and B&M short shifter are also there but not pictured. So much for the budget build...I'm about $900 into the short block at this point.
