Looks good. I thought it was higher up on the head? Are there other holes to let you mount it higher?

Yeah, you can mount it a few different ways with or without the bracket.

I'd need that on the PS side as my Procharger won't allow that. Nice pics BTW!

You and I are in the same boat.
I've been emailing GZ back and forth and they told me I could mount it where the A/C was... but I would have to figure it out. So that doesn't help much. It must be pretty difficult to have it where the A/C was and run it on the serpentine belt otherwise that one guy you posted up before wouldn't have done all that work. And you would need a smaller crank pulley which would be near impossible.

Guys, if there were at least 8 of us committed I can possibly have these built. Not sure there are 8 of us truly dedicated though. Some modification required to the rad w/ a MIG welder to move the rad up forward some but nothing dramatic. For the FI crowd we'll need this done as well along w/ a different mounting location for an item that comes w/ this.

Any real takers?

Do you HAVE to move the radiator forward? What about slimmer fans?

You may get away w/ a Flex 240 setup. The bottom of the radiator requires moving forward some. Mine is rigged to do this already so it's not a problem. I'd have to ask how far forward it would need to be.

2" inches forward. I don't appear to have enough interest to make this happen as I'd need 8 people minimum. Oh well.....guess I'll just stick w/ my crank case evac kit.

Yeh I figured there would be little interest. Too many slow LT1's out there to need a vacuum pump
