I would start with this Vortech kit: P/N 3GH218-050: Base Kit 1993 GM 5.7 LT1 F-Body, Satin, from a sponsor here. The kit does not have the blower or the electronics. Then you can modify the blower mount to fit the similar YSI. I would ask the sponsor if they know a better/cheaper way to do it, though.

Are you going to put an intercooler on or the Vortech 'aftercooler', or neither?

Z8's could make brackets for you. He has a 96 LT1 with a YSi.

Definately get z8's bracket setup. I have it and it's beautiful. You can see a couple pics of my YSi mocked up using it on my LT1 in the link in my sig.

Deltat I am going with an aftercooler. Thanks for th info. Do you or does anybody have a link that I may use to order or get brackets for it. Thanks alot. I think the outlet needs to shoot up rather than down due to the aftercooler.

Chris (Z8's) told me that you have to clock the blower sideways with his brackets. I'm almost postive there's no other way to get it to fit with these brackets. I'm using a custom Griffin air/air in the front anyways, almost everyone at this power level step up to a much larger intercooler, whether it be air/air or air/water.
