I went through this last year and was determined to find a good deal on brackets and accessories but they are really hard to come by. I ended up ordering almost all my brackets and fasteners from gmpartsdirect except for the a/c bracket which I found on the forum. I ordered pulleys and tensioners as well as most of my accessories from rock auto. All together I probably spent about 800 on everything.

If you are not dead set on the f-body setup, I found an alternative which is the cts-v accessory kit for the ls1 or ls6 which sells for about 850. It's laid out a little different but you get oem everything including the accessories, brackets, bolts, etc... I would love to hear some feedback from someone else who has gone down this path but if I had a chance to do it again I think this is the way I woul go. Good luck

I would go vette route, looks better IMO plus its cheaper..WIN!

ive been searching ebay, craigslist, an all the forms. when i do come across any brackets they want an arm and a leg for them, i might consider going the cts-v or vet setup if i cant find anything.

If you already have a truck alternator and power steering pump, you can just buy this bracket and re-use those accessories and they're oriented in the Corvette format.

I used to like those brackets they were pretty simple and clean.

The new holley brackets have grown on me... Look into them. They have them for sale on paceperformance too.

They are basically based off the vette brackets. They are universal with any crank pulley.

Truck
Vette
Fbody etc.

You just buy the appropriate spacer needed for the brackets to match the crank.

thanks for the info guys. A friend let me borrow his Fbody brackets till i can source out my own. I like the way in sits in my car with the Fbody setup so ill just keep my eyes out for some used ones to pop up.

Those look like good options but when I said I spent about 800 it also included the A/C compressor, bracket, idler, tensioner, and belt. I live in South Florida so A/C is a must.

Nook and tranny is a good place for any used LS stuff
