As a result of server relocation, ALL the picture links have been broken. A new link to the entire album, covering the job from start to finish can be found here (no new material, just an album full of pictures taken a decade ago):

I did these last weekend. Everything worked out, in the end, but I had to make my own spacers for the existing belts (none were included in the harness packages).
Also, I don't know what type of X'acto knife they were talking about in the instructions, but none of the five (5) or six (6)...
JohnB (& I) chased a miniscule leak after I installed silicone hoses. Yes, they must be retightened after a few heat cycles.
In John's case (94 R/T10) the hose with the bleed was weeping a bit, but where it fit onto the thermostat (not at the air bleed). The drops would land in the V and...
John's suspension is still all original components, which makes me ask, what is the projected life/mileage on his Konis before servicing?
I expect that enthusiasts have played with the shock's calibration and have had Koni service shops apply changed valving during rebuilds.
Are there any...
Thanks guys, I appreciate that the 6-point has the advantage of not cutting the seat as well, it would just be a matter of tucking it between the seatback and cushion when not in use (daily street driving). I haven't brought up the subject of a spare seat to cut a slot in it yet (back to...
Is the rear panel available used/separately (asks the guy that will be installing John's belts)? Always nice to keep the original part(s) unmolested, when possible.
His car does have the floor provision for the 5-point sub-strap, and of course, the lap belts. I have not yet removed the seat...
I just installed a Hurst for a local board member; drove the car for the first time this evening, and the new shifter feels very good. The effort is not high, and trip between gears is very short.
Perhaps it was the combination of brand-new OE engine mounts, and an aftermarket urethane xmsn...
Thanks guys! As John knows, most of the cars I work on are shipped in from other parts of the country, so I always do a photo documentation to keep the owner's informed of my progress and to make it easier for them to understand why it takes as long as it takes/costs as much as it costs for any...
Where can I get more information about stroker crankshafts? I have a (loose) crank that might be one, but I'd want to measure the throws to know for sure.
I'm pretty sure it's been narrowed down to a GenII engine, based on partial part number:
Also have a raw forging...
Thanks! Keep checking that link, as the pictures will accumulate daily.
Clearly, I'm no stranger to Marque Forums, but I had to laugh when I realized that was my first post on this board. While I'm far from being an expert on Vipers, I do strive to provide technically interesting posts.
Just got started on the same project last night. There will be hundreds of pictures online at: Gallery
Chuck: John (the car's owner) will be calling you shortly; I gave him my "list of demands" around 2:00AM. Thanks!
A few for starters...
