Good gosh that's too clean! LOL

If you don't like clean you won't like this one....it's a CSM special!!!

Wow those are some beautiful big blocks.

One thing I noticed a lot of guys running the GM Big Block Serpentine Accessory drive. Any clearance issues with it having a long water pump?

2nd thing was it looks like a different upper alternator bracket and support rod were used on 71-72 or 70 also .

Is this true? Is that bracket available anywhere?

I couldn't find an installed photo, but here it is going in:

Here's the 454 in my 69 stepside. I just put this in a few weeks ago. It's actually running at 2,000 RPM's in the photo's as I'm just breaking the cam in.
