Thanks for clearing this up. I am wondering how long before Vintage Air does a FontRunner FEAD?


The offset WP is a eye sore and might be a limiting factor for some potential swappers. If someone made a kit that retrofitted a LS WP and added PS and made the mounts look like OEM ( This is were Holley should step up to the plate) I bet alot of peps would be gathering parts.

 

That is what the DD acc kit does. Truck crank pulley, C5 LS water pump.

 

Ultimate Headers supposedly has headers for LT swaps.

Doug's Headers made custom set for me. They took the LT flange and put it on their A-body LS swap header. Hoping it will work, I should have the motor in permanently next week.

 

Also, look into using electronic steering from a Saturn Vue. A lot of Mustang guys are doing these swaps.

I have a hydroboost and a rack and pinion, so I need the PS pump.

 

This is going to be fun!!

 

Wait so..The c5 water pump bolts right up??

 

Not quite, you'll need the Dirty Dingo Adapter spacers to get it to work

 

Yes what he said!

 

someone that takes DD idea one step farther (OEM looking mounts) will sell alot of FEADS

 

Wanted to offer a picture of the Dirty Dingo set up installed on a L83. Thank you for all the awesome information.

 

MZRICO,
Thanks for sharing. That looks ALOT better than the OEM FEAD

 

Not much belt wrap around that water pump. That run from the water pump to the alt is a long one.

 

I like the more traditional look of the Dirty Dingo set up. The factory Gen V belt system is going to take some getting used to. Time will tell if the belt is going to be a problem.

 

Great buld! Plenty of good ionformation.

 

So what is everyone using for a cold air intake? I have the corvette manifold and throttle body, but the dirty dingo fead is in the way and the angle of the throttle body doesn't help either

 

Holley is coming out with a TB to intake wedge to help this out . I think they are taking preorders.

 

Thanks for the info. I went ahead and placed the order.

 

NP. Glad I could help.
