Default Holley 20-142 opinions

Just curious if anyone has ordered this kit? It's the entire kit, including compressor, to mount the compressor up high. It looks like this is my best option and I've just spent a couple hours reading about it. Any opinions here?

Thanks,
Brandon

If it looks like it will fit, it should be good. Holley really engineers their stuff. I think Holley has a tech line. Maybe call them and pick their brains. One of their guys is on here quite often. Goes by "Toddoky". He works on LS swap parts, but not sure accessory drives are part of his realm.
Edit- just checked it out. Good stuff; just be sure to get the correct installation kit for the spacing you have.

I have 2 of these and might be interested in selling you one. They are brand new in the box. I purchased them a couple years ago with the intention of using one for my S10 build and the other for my 51 Chevy truck build. I ended up going LSA supercharged on the S10 so I couldn't use it.

I have this kit and it is the best quality out there. OEM fit and finish. Great instructions and easy to install. It's worth the extra cost over similar kits.

The kit definitely looks good and seems to be of high quality. People just need to be made aware of what they are purchasing to ensure it is what they are expecting.

Another vote for their kit. Used it on my 65 Chevelle, including the mounts, oil pan, and cast iron headers and it was well worth it. I was originally going to cobble everything from different vendors and I'm glad I didn't. Everything installed perfectly and I saved myself hours of trying to make everything fit.
