this is a corvette C6 alternator power steering pump bracket so i can high mount the alternator and clear the chassis rail
only thing is the VE alternator power steering pump dont fit on the bracket so i am having to mod that as well

Top work mate keep it up!! How long before its running ?

[julian14588]

i am hoping to be able to turn the key over within a few weeks,

i still need the radiator, thermo fans and oil cooler before its drivable

also the air con condenser and all the lines

all of which needs money

This is awesome, looking forward to seeing this completed

Hey Mate, Great Build. What brand is the new sump?
Cheers

[julian14588]

it is a genuine GM kit with pick up dip stick and all
it is called a F body sump / oil pan

the sump i first brought was also a genuine GM sump advertised to suit this conversion
so called truck sump i think they use them in the hummer H3 but Far FAR to deep the f body sump is about 50mm / 2 inches less and will clear every thing if i sum how bottom out on my bump stops

GM sell a massive a mount of different bracket and sump ect ect to suit the ls engine all u have to do is look it up
as well as that it is one of the most common engine that are used in engine conversions so there is pleanty of after markey stuff as well
but with most conversions there is always customs/modified parts to be made
