Were there any interference issues with the stock GT front fascia? I am curious to see how it would fit with my GT 500 front fascia & lower grill. Did the P/S cooler have to be modified?

The P/S cooler doesn't need to be modified to fit the Gords HE. It may however need to be modified to fit the SPAL twin electric cooling fans. My fans came in today so I may try to get them installed by mid next week. I won't start a job which may need fittings on a weekend.

Please post pics of your install. I really like the larger H/E with fans. I have been looking at the Saleen upgrade JDM offers but good God that's expensive - even by my standards.

Hey Peter, I will be installing one of your tensioners tomorrow along with my new Meziere W/P with 5.5" pulley.

I was at JDM this week and I saw that HE on the Silver 25th Anniversary Saleen.
That HE looks so stock that I thought it was the standard one till I noticed how huge it was.
That car, which is actually running the Thump_rrr Racing tensioner, is so well put together it's ridiculous.

Did Jim III or Sr. mention when it would actually be available to purchase?

I really didn't have a chance to really speak to Sr.
They literally just rolled in from the NMRA race and he was up to his ass in tuning.

Today I installed my new Meziere H2O pump and Thump_rrr tensioner. That bottom bolt on the H2O pump is a real PITA!! To make it even worse this pump has a larger 5.5" pulley. I was also very careful to route and secure the harness to prevent the harness from getting damaged. However after few choice words the job is done.

I do have one question for Thump_rrr or anyone else using his tensioner. With the belt installed I have 7/16" clearance between the setscrew and stop. Is that correct?

Get an S197forum sticker for your next mod. There's my input.

You're golden with 7/16". Anything more than 1/4"-5/16" and you won't have any problems.

That's good news.

Now I can start seriously investigating driveshaft options and a larger heat exchanger. All my other planned summer mods have been completed.
