I haven't saw one for a LS1.

FYI: I took the PS and the lower idler pulley(inbetween alternator and crank pulley) off my car and I ended up running a 51.5" belt with a Powerbond underdrive pulley

Is your alt. below the PS pump or up top? I am thinking about just looping the PS pump and running it for now, just to get it going. I also spoke to Katec, and they can build one for 200, but eventually I will just install a front drive pulley system with some bling......

Mine is on the bottom

I cut the metal lines on the rack and looped them with a piece of 3/8 hose
