Can someone send me the templete to projectsyckness@verizon.net


Thank you.

 

Looks good dude, any chance you made an extra set?

Thanks!!


How do I get ahold of him/them?

 

Here is our swap brackets, note that this is for the easier to find truck WP, re using the older original 89 camaro alternator, mine is manual steering for use of my S10 manual steering box.









Alas, for the power steering folks like 99% of the world is, this uses a remote mount reservoir:

 

That's pretty slick. Where is your remote res mounted?

 

not pictured or mounted but can use lt1 type or any salvage yard resevoir or aluminum canister type. mount anywhere you want.

 

ttt for great info, i might have to use my truck stuff now...

 

I will repost my alternator adapter I made.

Problem: No alternator on my LSx motor.

Have: Alternator from my BBC and the bracket that went with it.

Solution: Adapt my junk to run with the truck pulley, waterpump and tensioner.

Here's a reference picture of the head


Basic location and spacing I had in mind.




After making some measurements (including the difference in the depth of my alternator and the waterpump pulley), I found I needed a 1-1/4" plate and I would have to pick-up a hole on the cylinder head with the spacer plate.


Got this big hunk-o-aluminum from Midwest Steel Supply. It's 1-1/4" thick, 6"x8" T6 aluminum and with shipping was surprisingly cheap. I could have ordered a smaller size, but I wanted extra just in case.


Sorry if these pictures are excessive, but I like them. I layed out the pattern using my existing bracket, made some reference marks for the holes (do not drill these) and marked the inside area where I want the other cylinder head hole to end up.










I managed to find a bandsaw somewhere and cut out the plate. You can hacksaw or jigsaw this, but I wouldn't recommend it.


After clamping up the BBC bracket to the spacer plate to use as a drill guide...


...I used a 'gunbarrel' drill bit and backdrilled the holes.


After measuring out and drilling the third hole, I mocked the spacer and bracket up to the head.




Used some random fasteners and a few drill bits and mocked everything up. I had a long steel spacer tube from another project that I cut down to 1-1/4" to match the spacer and used it on the tie-rod common-to the cylinder head.






Looks like everything lines up perfectly!


Now I need to counter-bore the backside of the outermost hole so I can install that bolt. It interferes with the cylinder head. Then I will de-chrome everything chrome and probably paint the alternator, bracket and spacer an aluminum color so it all looks uniform. And, I need to find a belt...

 

Damn, that thing is WAY out there to the side.
