Looks good...but Pricey for some brackets. Should be 120 with a 40 dollar core charge.

 

Glad to see shops making stuff for our cars.

A little pricey, but to be fair, I don't everything that goes into the kit.

 

Definately looks interesting... but I think it is a little high even though the 160 is a little more appealing. But then again thats not for me to say about the price.


Good luck,

His price is reasonable if you do a little research and realize that the number of other relocation brackets that allow you to keep AC is zero, same goes for the PS. So unless you are willing to fab your own PS bracket or pay for a custom set up, this is the only game in town. I had the More piece and I would gladly pay for this bracket to keep my PS, using a stock rack without a pump is a pain in the left nut, even with skinny front tires. And have you seen the cost of a manual rack set up lately? Not cheap. AC is gone with any bracket so that is a moot point. I'd like to switch to a manual rack, but until then I'm switching to this setup. Thanks for bringing a new option on the market

 

Almost forgot to address this one.

It does requires a new serpentine belt - Goodyear Part #4060592 or equivalent.

I have updated the description to mention this.

 

Ugh, that little pulley looks like ***. There has got to be a better design than that.

 

So true. This relocation bracket is worth the money because of the work on design, and nobody else makes them. Good luck.

 

Nice Design.

I would think to get the price lower a GP would be nice.

 

For now, I have plans of making one over the winter as well.

Q

 

There is no need to dent the crap outta new valve covers.. I just did a little grinding (7 or 8 minutes worth..) to the alternator and it fits like a glove..

I bought the 1st one produce from him and it's nice. For people questioning the belt it doesn't slip w/ the correct belt size. Only thing you'll need to do is retighten the bolts after a couple of day because they will loosen up over time since the metal expands and contracts. Worth money IMO and looks oh so good when you pop the hood and other folk are wondering what looks different. LOL

Thanks Jon.

 

VIPRETR is right, this is the ONLY bracket that I know of that retains power steering along w/ relocating the alternator.

I know this was worked on for quite some time and I'm glad to see it's finally available. Good work.

 

Just thought Id throw this in here, for those worried about belt slippage on the PS pulley because of how it looks in the picture of me holding the belt routed. Notice how low I have the belt in comparison to where it would be routed around a crank pulley, there will be at least another 3-4" of belt contact with the PS pulley.

About the pulley looking like "***", I dont see how that is considering it is a brand new pulley out of the box from Dayco, I didnt make the pulley.

Thanks to those that have bought the bracket and chime in to say how nice the work is and how nice it looks with the hood off, the praise is appreciated and hopefully others will realize the opinions that matter most are the people that actually have the product. You cant say how nice a 383 stroker is unless you have one

Sorry to those who love A/C, if I get some time here once school is done, I will see what I can do about keeping A/C, it just wasnt an issue for me in Ohio and with TTops. Ill work on it though!

 

A little pricey but looks good, glad to see people are still comming up with new things for the lt1, keep it up

 

I fabbed up my own bracket about a year ago to relocate the alternator and retain a/c and power steering. Not too bad of a job..... At the track, I pull off the belt that runs the a/c and power steering and the only accessory being crank driven is the alt. It has worked flawlessly so far. The engine revs quicker with the alt only belt on. I have pics posted on my web site........
