C16xe into mk1

[nathan87]

I've seen all the guides etc

Just want to know if anyone has fitted one but keeping the original multi rib?

[boyd_1989]

I have.... Mines mk2 though.
Its about 2-3mm away from chasis leg lol can upload a pic if you wanna see?

Its been done before, but I'd advise a single pulley especially on standard engine mounts

[nathan87]

If you wouldnt mind please Boyd

I will be changing to uprated mounts eventually but need to get the engine this weekend

I have a Mk1 with the original belt setup on standard mounts with no catching on the chassis leg.

[nathan87]

That's what I want to hear lol

[Mieran]

standard alternator is miles off, well not miles lol but there is plenty of room

[nathan87]

Haha, anyone got an idea what belt to use for removing pas pump

[Mieran]

I posted something about this in the small block article thread

[nathan87]

Ok cheers I'll have a look again

Sorry about the bad quality picture lol it was from my old phone ages ago......
And i went to autoquip and ordered a 6PK865 thats 6 rib 865mm and is a tight fit, but perfect...
This used to scrape the chassis leg on left corners untill i fitted my solid mounts.
Most novas are different, some fit with plenty of room and some dont fit at all, thats why alot of people suggest using single v.
