I'm looking into doing a custom passenger side mount on an LS1 F-Body. I know the brackets are very different between the two cars as well as placement but after looking at the C5 bracket would it fit? Is there any difference between the waterpump or belt tensioner? Does anyone have any good pics of it mounted? How is the tensioner and belt run? Any help would be great. Here's one pic I found that suggests that it might work but I don't see where the tensioner is.

 

Ok.. a lil info. The belt tensioner looks the same, but it's different. The belt is spaced differently on the C5. You would need a C5 tensioner and Crank pulley. Not sure on the ALT and PS, but they shoudn't line up right either, since it's all in a row. Maybe custom pullies or spacers. Or convert to the C5 accessories.. The Water Pump is the same..

Interesting setup, I'd love to see it work.

Thanks for the info. If the water pump is the same then wouldn't everything else line up as is? I know they are all in different locations but if the wp lines up then everything else should also. What else am I missing? How is the crank pulley different from the stock F-body pulley with the Procharger setup?

 

Water pump has a long flat round snout, no grooves.... So if the belt sits an inch off on it, it wont matter. Thats how they get away with it.

The C5 crank pulley has the main drive belt in more than the F-Body... Nothing special about the C5 procharger on that part. Uses the stock C5 pulley. F-body has a bolt on pulley attachment for the blower, it's not on the single stock belt.

 

Steve, thanks for the info. Is there any way to use this bracket setup with what I have or would I have to change everything on the front of the motor? If so I guess I should look into a custom mount with an F-body crank pulley.

 

I ask because by the looks of it the only difference is that the alt and PS are in different locations. The rest looks absolutly the same. AC and tensioner seem to be in the same exact spot. This is where I'm looking to mount it.
