Hi All,
Question, I am installing the front accessory kit from CVF on my SBF 347, so far everything fits well. My question is does their water neck fit on the Edelbrock Victor Jr EFI manifold? I don't see how it does.
Thanks
Jeff

Can you post a better pic of that housing including the sealing surface. Does it have a bleed port? thanks

Hi all,
Trans showed up for CMS, along with CVF accessory kit.
Mocked up front end for now, and will do the same for trans. Kennedy kit looks great!
That waterneck housing came from CVF, no bleed port. It does fit the manifold, I am a retard.
Just need a car now, tried to contact Fran, and company twice for a build update, no response.
Regards
Jeff

Looks similar to the setup I have. I was able to get a 37" belt on it, 15370. 15375 also worked but the 37" got the alternator very close to the cylinder head on the back side so I went with that one.
Not sure if you figured out belt size yet but it looks like the one you have is too long lol
I have the different alternator fan on it as well, not in this picture though

Yeah, that's a 15400 for starters, I'll try the 15370.
Thanks for the input.

Hi all,
So test fitting my G96 to the 347, second item in the Kennedy instructions state to clearance the G96 case for the starter gear. Before I start hacking my $17K trans has anyone else done this?
Any input greatly appreciated.
