Is the AC compressor bracket from Kwik or did you make it?

Where did you get the straight water neck?

Very nice work.

Amazing how wide that engine bay is.

I wish they would make one that uses the factory type thermostat.

I like the brackets. Will there be a set that includes power steering? Or uses the factory compressor instead of an expensive sanden?

There's a local speed shop here in St Louis that has strait waternecks with the built in LS1 type thermostat on their shelf, Old Dog Hot Rods. Not sure who makes it though, maybe S&P. I think Katech makes one too.
As for the alternator/PS bracket, check out Kwik Performance, I'm pretty sure that's their bracket. The alternator bracket can be used with a PS pump.
There's a guy on corvetteforum, "Superpowers" that makes an similar AC bracket for the old GM compressors.

Made them all. Danno is correct, The Woods family that owns CSR makes the water necks (they also own South Ga Motorsports Park). I could make one to fit the OEM compressor easy enough, just had the Sanden that came in the Vintageair kit. I should have the rack & pinion mounts finished this week and will post pics of it.

Just takes a little time and having the machining tools to do this stuff....most anyone thats a machinest can do it. Belt alignment took alot of time.

Cool. I actually made some brackets for my project but they are very simple and used 98 s-10 accessories. They are not as cool as those are though.

garys 68 Apr 29, 2009 08:23 AM

Nice work. And you shined up everything.
I did my own too but sqeezed the accessories in a little closer. This is in a 68 vette.
What's yours going into?

64 vette convertable.

garys 68 Apr 29, 2009 11:17 AM

I thought the frame, A arms, coolant tank, etc looked familiar.

Your 68 is gonna be NICE when done!!

1976CamaroGuy Apr 23, 2010 07:24 AM

I realized the OP is banned, but did he make those brackets himself?

garys 68 Apr 23, 2010 09:16 AM

He said he did, but the design looks a lot like kwik performance brackets.
