LSx (LM7) Low Mount Alternator DIY How To Parts needed. Note this will delete your power steering pump and a/c and add more HP. Plus it will remove that nasty looking truck alternator bracket.
Fbody Alternator Part #12563327. GmPartsDirect.com $20+shipping.
Ribbed Pulley - Gates Part #38008 = $20 O Reilly
Gates Belt – K060547 – $20 O Reilly
2 Long Bolts for alternator bracket (M10 x 1.5 140MM long). I ordered mine from Grainger for $10 and received 5 of them.
1 Shorter M10x1.5 about 50mm for ribbed pulley
A 1/4 – 3/8 washer. You might have to drill out the center. Depending on what you get. This acts as a spacer on the back side of the ribbed pulley.
10mm x 1.5 Tap
11/32 drill bit
3/4 in spacer to space the alternator off the block to line up with the water pump and crank pulley. You will also need some type of straight edge to make sure you get it right.
