1985 Trans am lq4 swap questions Im swapping a lq4 into my 1985 trans am. I have all the truck brackets which i know isnt going to work with the alternator. Btw im not using AC for this project. Also im doing the carb setup so i dont have to worry about the waterpump waterneck throttle body interference.
My question is, is there a way to use the truck bracket for power steering, and then get an alternator bracket for the other side?
Thanks,
Tim

Alright got a bracket that will work with stock water pump alternator and crank pulley. So i only had to buy a camaro powersteering pump(used truck pulley even)
The engine was a bitch to get in the car but the Gm performance swap pan kit worked great, hangs a little low past the k member but im gonna make a skid pan type of thing to protect it. Also i used the transdapt swap engine plates with 1 inch setback and trans is sitting basically in the stock location.
Also to figure out exhaust manifold flanges so i could make the rest of the exhaust, I designed and got some laser cut 3/8 flanges(which i will be selling for $35+shipping a pair) Which came out awesome.
