thanks , i mean it came with new compressor. alternator ,ps pump brackets pulleys idlers bolts nuts etc , cant beat it , at least in my opinion

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

i cant wait !!!!!!

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Killer parts! This is going to be an amazing power plant when you get it done. Rock on brother!

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Looking forward to your header choice. I think TBSS should fit, but haven't verified. Schoenfelds do, but come close to the a-arm. Are you sure the alternator and compressor will clear your frame?

thanks mike !!!!

according to the measurements gm gave me , i should have about half inch of clearance on each side , but then again where have i heard the word bolt on or perfect fit before and it actually did , huummmm, not !!! lol !!! i'll post some measurements later

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

here are some pix of measurement i had taken before i order tje kit which i am sure most of you guys know these measurements already , also found a pix of the pulley set up measurements , its going to be a tight fit but i know i can make it work

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Everything I ordered that was bolt on for my swap was cut and welded on to make it fit the way it needed too. even had to ding a header tube a touch.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

i hear ya !!!!

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Gonna be squeaky. What's the original application of the accessory drive? LSA?

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

good question , it does !! not !! work with lsa or ls9

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

I really hope this works out for you- accessories look much better mounted low. Link is to a '69 w/ F-car accessories, which are a similar mounting arrangement, but .75" deeper than yours- fingers crossed!
