Awesome to see the pics Ken. Great stuff. Wish that was my 130 in the pics!
As for a sealed alternator, there must be something out there. These engines are used in all sorts of off racing machines including baja trophy trucks so their must be someone (I'm assuming in the States) making a sealed alternator.
The sealed alternator (water cooled) for the Toyota 70 series is a nice piece of kit and might be modifiable to fit the LS3.
The A/C compressor looks like a bit of an afterthought.
I remember that Motorola ones were used on Mustang loaders and were trouble free. Are Motorola still in that business?Quote:

Paul at Les Richmond Automotive fitting heat shield to the engine bay/transmission tunnel to keep the heat from the 6.2 litre engine under control.
Very neat work!

Hi Mate,
It might also be worthwhile getting your headers/extractors coated - LRA did that for me on the V8 in my 101, and I was very happy with the results...
Cheers,
GG.
Hi GG.
Thanks for that and yep, I’m having ceramic coated header/extractors fitted.
Thanks for the tip either way.
Ken

Fantastic looking conversion.
Those new engine mounts look very beefy.
Cheers, Mick.
One seriously nice looking 6.2 LS3 with ceramic headers not far from being fitted into my engine bay!

Looks like they are running a fly by wire throttle on it? Do they use the throttle pedal from the donor car? I don't think you will be able to wipe the smile from you're face when this is finished[emoji16]
Yep, fly by wire and I believe the pedals come from the donor vehicle.👍
