Woo hoo! My ZZ5 (fastburn 385 + Hot cam kit) engine has just arrived With a huge ammount of luck I'll get it running this weekend. Being that problems always arise, it may well not happen 'till later in the week

I was reading the information that came with the engine, and it turns out that it can use the accessory brackets from an LT1 f-body or Corvette. That might look a hell of a lot better than the old style pulleys that I have now. Does anyone know what a set of used accesory brackets and pullies might be worth?

 

Congrats man, you're probably looking at $50-$70 for the bracket.

 

Congrats!!! I can't wait to see how a crate motor turns out from GM versus the ones built around here. Good luck!!

 

*drool*

 

I have an extra accessory bracket. One of the bolt holes needs to be tapped and I polished it up already. It looks good.

$40?

 

Cool man! Glad to hear that shes gonna see life again. If you need some help let me know. I am starting to get good at swapping engines in 2nd gens dunno why. Not like Ive had lots of practice or anything .

I may be interested... I have to see how the engine install goes before deciding which bracket/pulley system to go with.

 

im the opposite of cory, ive had tooooo much practice swaping motors into 2nd gens! ive done about 4 re and re's on mine alone, so if you need and help just let me know, with two people total my record from start is having the motor and tranny sitting on the ground in 1 hour 10 min.

 

You think by know Id know that sarcasm doesnt do very well when written. And maybe the little winking guy was too subtle . Anyhow, I have done lots of engine swaps.... and several on 2nd gens (my own uh, 3 times). I also got an engine leveler for the cherrypicker that makes life a lot easier if you need it.
