Default 1969 Chevelle Swap

My sons and I are working on swapping in a 5.3 from a 2003 Tahoe into 1969 Chevelle.

Both the intake and alternator sit up too high for the hood to close. I posted a thread in the Gen III forum on the intake (maybe using a LS1 or LS6 replacement?)

Main Question: my alternator needs to be moved. I'm looking at a kit from ICTBillet - LS Accessory Mounting Bracket Kit 551570. Anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks for all your help.

William

Looks like a good kit, be careful picking which kit part#.
Depending on which waterpump or P/S pump you already have.

Maybe you motor is sitting up a little high. I have no problem with the L92 and the truck alternator in my 65 Buick Skylark. As to the intake I used the LS3 style. A lot of them are new take offs at a very reasonable price.

I'm not sure about the accessory kit but pay the extra money for the ls6 intake instead of the ls1.
