Couple of questions

scriptedmind · 08-03-2009, 09:24 PM

SO I'm slowly but surely making progress on my build. I have two important questions though.

#1. My power steering pulley is like a 1/4" or an 1/8" from a bolt on the gear box. I've seen a pic of a truck on here with the same issues and they mentioned using the 2.2 pulley. Can the 2.2 pulley really be used? I still have my 2.2 laying beside the truck.

#2. I notched my frame just like all the other pics on here but when i sat my motor in, the front of the compressor hit the frame with the engine as far back as it will go. I noticed my compressor has three circles sticking out on the front of the clutch and most of the ones i see on here do not. Where can i get a compressor that has a smaller clutch thickness (if i'm wording that correctly)?

Specs to go with the questions:
97 2wd S10.
4.8 + 4L60E out of a 2001 Silverado.
Truck intake and accessories.
H3 Alpha oil pan.
Motor mounts and sanderson shorties from CPW

Here is a pic from philintx's sticky. What compressor is that? That would clear my frame notch perfectly.

Here is a pic (from ebay) of a compressor like mine with the 3 circles sticking out in the front of the compressor. These will NOT clear the pitman arm bracket.
