Got the power steering mocked up. Just need to cut out the front bracket and triple check the last changes. Just need to draw up the spacers and have the a machine shop make em
Pretty satisfied with the look, incorporated an idler just to get more belt wrap on the crank. I might make the decorative holes a touch smaller but there there for the artistic touch.
Pump is placed lower than the highest point of the intake, and as close to the block as possible.. almost like a ls 5.3.
Got a promising 6 rib tensioner, research paid off so far, it's identical to the HD version mentioned earlier but only 6 rib width. Ironically uses the same pulley as the LT.. I could go as far as testing the tension by hanging weight from the pulley just to see since I plan to make 5 sets of these brackets and sell 4 of them.
Alternator bracket nearing completion.
Header flange is almost mapped out, just need to adjust 1 port.. seems easy but takes many prints to get it exactly spot on, like the water pump adapters. Close is good, exact is better
