Default LS1 Kwik Accessory brackets

I don't know if anybody is curious to see them, but I recently installed the Kwik accessories brackets on my GTO LS1. Very nice quality stuff and reasonably priced. The kit came very quick and everything was packaged extremely well. The install was quick and instructions were well laid out. Nice job by Wayne and crew at Kwik.

I tried a dirty dingo set on my swap. Almost the same type of setup. The only thing that I had an issue with was the clocking of the power steering pump and I believe they are clocked the same on the kwik. I ended up switching to the Holley kit and am very happy with it.

I did have a hard time getting the PS pump in position and lined up. I ended up having to unbolt part of the bracket contrary to instructions and then I could turn it in place. Looks pretty nice, any pics of your set up?

Another vote for the Holley brackets. Look oem and fit perfect, great price!

Some of the prices for accessory brackets.......wow.

I used all the Kwik Perf mounts as well as their PS hoses on my 59 El Camino 5.3 swap. Very well designed, made and priced products. Made and sold by my favorite folks - Hot Rodders!

Agreed. The kwik was garbage, just a bunch of bolts, screws, plates blah blah that required shims and crap like that to prevent a constant squeal. Some people get it to work but many do not, it's just not worth the hassle. The holley brackets however are fantastic. A+ on those.

I have the KWIK AC setup and it chirped like a SOB. I talked to Wayne at KWIK and he told me how to install them to ensure good alignment and I re-installed per the new instructions and viola...no chirp. I am installing the KWIK alternator and PS bracket in place of the GM bracket and I like the PS clocking better on the KWIK.
