How many of you are running F-body accessories on your 6.0L 4th gen swap?
I want to see how it's set up right. I've heard you can run the F-body accessories on the LQ4/9 but that there is a certain bracket hole you need to drill somewhere, does anyone know about this?

I'm running all my LS1 accesories on an LQ4 block. You have to drill and tap a hole for one of the alternator bolts.

Isn't there a hole missing for the AC bracket as well? I ran into this where the center hole was not drilled out. No biggie tho, still bolts up tight.

you only use 2 bolts on the ls1 alternator bracket...
lower left and upper right...

leave the other one alone..its not needed, and where it sits at, there no metal to add a hole anyways on a 6.0 block

who told you that? cause obviously you havent done it yourself.


there is a boss already there for the new hole. and if the 3rd bolt wasent needed, it wouldnt be there from the factory on the LS1's. it would be blank as the iron blocks are.

the motor in my signature I just built myself... absolutely had to drill and tap it myself....

1 hole already in the block... 2nd hole has to be drilled...
3rd hole doesnt have a boss to drill into..

rear bracket hole is on the side of the block - I dont use the rear bracket because I have a 145amp truck alternator

I highlighted the picture to show where the bracket holes line up for the LS1 Alternator bracket
