C5 Procharger bracket on F-body?
C5 Procharger bracket on F-body? 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. Also can a Procharger head unit be clocked like a turbo?
I'm not sure what you mean. I know they are in different locations but are they actually spaced out or in further than a F-body block? Don't they still use another belt other than the drive belt with a different crank pulley?
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.

Verdad Gallardo I guess I should ask what would be neccessary to run this bracket to do the type of setup I want? Or should I just forget about it and have a custom bracket made?
I have a Vette and believe me-I would much rather have a dedicated blower drive than to share my blower with the rest of the accesorries. It is a huge factor for us C5 guys when it comes to making power. IMHO you will be much further ahead with the Procharger F-body brackets.
I actually just learned that they share the main drive belt on a C5. Always thought they had a separate belt and crank pulley like the F-body does. It's not a matter of wanting to keep everything on one belt, I want to mount the blower where the C5 has it mounted because to me that's where it should be. I thought maybe if I use the C5 bracket and shim it out that I may be able to use the F-body crank pulley but didn't know how the tensioner would play into it. Looks like it will be all custom and just have to do the trial and error method. I also thought maybe this new A&A Corvette Performance setup might work:
The F-body dampner sits out almost and inch further. But if you wanted to utilize the C5 bracket you could make a set of custom spacers to shift the blower out the required distance. Although I think you would tun into other problems at that point such as the radiator etc... I am in agreance with everyone else why ont use the ATI 8rib set up or and SDCE bracket ETC... They are proven to work.
what happened with the turbo? You could cut your radiator support and push your radiator foward some. depending on how far foward it goes..you may run into problems with the AC condensor taking up too much space.
i've been on this kick also about wanting the blower on a different bracket because of my iron block.... i think the closest you can get is the GTO kit.... youll have to move some electrical things around but i think it has the best possibilites...
