Yeah I have the followers as well. I googled the rods and they are from American v8s.
The engine is getting there. Yeah the measurements were taken before the order. I'm looking forward to getting it back!

Hi,
Are you fitting an oil cooler?
If so, which one did you go for?
Thanks,

Andy

Yes I'm fitting an oil cooler but I don't know what one yet. I'm going to measure that up etc when the engines in.

Hi,
Ok, thanks, I am at the point of deciding which one to go for as well.
Andy,

Latest update. Using a different inlet now as this one is too close to the exhaust and is too difficult to mount throttle bodies.
Anyone know where I can get a front pulley with a rear mount trigger wheel?

Be careful selecting the correct rods.
The number on the side does relate to a Chevy V8 rod (RP..?) however KG cuts them down to a specific size to maintain the correct rocker ratio

That inlet manifold looks close. Did you select the separate side draft manifolds as supplied by Volvo in period?
What about using KGs alloy front pulley and then tapping for a trigger wheel?

Yeah those ones. Luckily I had a set in my stash. There is not a great deal of meat on them so they will need a few bits welded up/on to get the fit right.
Cheers I will look into that pulley. The issues I've seen with others is that there is not the room at the back to fit a wheel due to the lack of space between the pulley and the front cover.

No room for this type of sensor / pressure mount. Anyone know where I can get one like the second picture?

It looks like you decided not to use a supercharger, but if you change your mind a US 120 model dealer installed air conditioning pulley w/.375 & .500-inch grooves might work. That pully works well with Judson units and the larger groove is on the front. What type of blower are you thinking about?
