building a 408 boosted chevelle. planned on running the lsx transplant cog kit, f1a. as i research it more the fit dosent sound so great. so guys that run this set up, does your belt clear your factory water pump?, found a thread that it dosent, most guys that run a larger crank pulley have to run a electric pump, and does your power steering pump fit. i found another thread that the power steering pump dosent fit. my car came manual steering but i would like to upgrade. at this point may as well go gear drive, and run a remote water pump and figure out a belt drive for the alternator, all this has me considering a single turbo build. thanks

I don't know what year chevelle you have, but I ran the vette setup on a 69, and the transplant on a 72 with a cog and D1SC (bad idea, the cog on a D1SC rattles the hell out of it)
I had no problems with the fit, and used a CTSV PS pump-the PS pulley interfered with the pressure fitting on other pumps. I also ran an IC'er on both setups. Iron blocks take a diff PS bracket than alumn blocks. Here are a couple pics of the 72-i ran a 4L80E, 9" w/350 gears, 6.0, LS3 heads, intake-pulled down 24 MPG on a cruise, lol-wish I never sold it

Here is a couple pics of the IC'er mock up-it was tight, and wanted to keep all the hood latch stuff while dropping the IC'er lower to unshield as much of the rad. as possible

My car is a 68, thanks for the info & pictures Very helpful! Is that the piping and intercooler that comes with the kit?

I made up the pipes and got the IC'er off Ebay-my 69 actually was easier to fit an IC'er, the 72 was a tighter fit.

How much boost did you run, i read that guys had problems with the blower belt hitting the water pump pulley, had to switch to an elec water pump to for clearance

I'm not aware of anyone having interference with the water pump with the standard ProCharger 7.65 diameter crank pulley, which is available in either 8 or 12 rib.

ProCharger has switched over to these part numbers for the power steering for use with the Transplant Kit.

Power Steering Pump: #21997867
PS pulley GM part number is 12568997

ProCharger has two brackets for power steering on the Transplant Kits.

I don't remember, prob 12-14 lbs-as I remember I ran a smaller crank pulley, 66T?-I had a larger one, but it would have over driven the D1SC,
and I was able to find some smaller pulleys-You could prob put a larger idler pulley on and lower the belt some.
I had found a place with diff size belts, and cheaper, so I could push the idler pulley down further.
How much power do you want to make-the Vette setup works great on the A bodies, you can add an 8 rib setup-its a little tight getting an air intake setup for a filter though, but I made up something

You could also use this bracket that ProCharger same out with last year. It is a dedicated drive 8 rib kit for the 07-13 trucks. All the accessories for the 07-13 trucks work with it. Bob

Bob, he was asking about a cog setup
I was just talking to Serg about that truck setup to get an 8 rib for my old truck transplant

Man, I read past that....... Thanks. Bob

With the F series having a 5.40/1 gear ratio you could get away with a smaller crank pulley. Bob

Figuring out impeller speed
(Crank tooth ÷ Blower tooth) X (5.40 step up ratio in newer F Series) X ( Engine Rpm's)

power wise, i want the most i can get out of it, so im guessing a serpentine set up wont cut it?

iTrader: (7)

Yep, if you are going F series, you want cog. Procharger had a setup where the cog belt ran the WP also, cant remember if it was avail. on the transplant kit or not.

I have a Gen 3 Lq4 block. It doesn't have all the bolt holes for the power steering bracket. What was your fix for this?

Procharger has a part for the iron block, that's what I ran

That's the bracket I bought from you Bob, looks to me as procharger designed it for a gen 4 block. My block doesnt have the required mounting holes.
