Default accy brackets

Ok, most of you know about my S190 LQ4 turbo build. I have a quick and probably simple question. I am going with a corvette balancer so I need to swap to a different bracket system. I've read a lot but not really sure what to go with. I am only needing the Alt and PS on this. I've looked at the vette brackets but I don't like the very wide but low mounting. I like to keep everything in tight like the Truck bracket. Also I would like to keep my current truck PS pump and Alt. So not have to buy a vette PS and external reservoir. Opinions? Aftermarket is fine too. Cheaper the better.

I'm pretty sure the Holley stuff will support any belt spacing (vette, F car and truck) by just adding the correct spacers. Pretty sure Kwik performance does as well.

Just find the layout (hi or low mount etc) you like then order it with the correct belt spacing.

I don't think your going to find any LS bracket setup that will allow you to use your truck power steering pump with reservoir and the corvette spacing. You will need to change your spacing or change your pump. The Holley kits are very nice and are setup like the stock vette setup, but they would require a different pump.

We have an alternator bracket that would move your alternator down to the F-body position but be on the Y-body belt line. We don't have anything for the factory truck PS pump. We normally would use a CTS-V PS bracket with a different pump on it. That way, it looks pretty close to a F-body front setup but on Corvette belt line.

CBM, I have the water pump that has the top pipe on the passenger side. Does this effect this setup you pictured?

As long as it is for the Corvette belt line, it will work fine. Even if it is like a stock LS1 pump, you are in the clear.

Yea, it uses the spacers to get out to the truck line up. Shoot me a pm with the details on what I would need.
