how to convert your LQx LMx to use an LS1 Alternator bracket ok guys i got my LQ9 and i wanted to use an LS1 intake and all that stuff but then i got my bracket and i noticed the whole wasn't there for the alternator.
(barrowed this picture from another site.)
So i said well the spot is there why not make the whole. I was scared to death to do it but if i wanted to use the ls1 intake and all that good stuff so here are the tools you will need
a drill
i used 3 bits one small for the pilot hole one a little bit bigger and then an 11/32 bit
a 10x1.50 plug tap
So what i did was bolted the bracket on with the bottom bolt
and lined it up
I took a very pointy pencil and lined it up in the center
once i marked it i measured how much i needed to drill
and once i did that i used some tape to mark the bits so i knew how much i needed to drill
i didnt picture this but i drilled with a smaller bit first then a medium size bit then the 11/32 bit needed to tap the whole
once i got that done i tapped the whole with the 10x 1.5 tap
and then ended cleaned it with an air compressor and cleared out the and made sure nothing was left in there. here is what i ended up with
hope this will help everyone later on!
