so much room for activities!

I like how clean it looks. The price looks to be around $2,500. I think my friend gets a discount on Holley stuff. I might need to look into this more.

Thanks for the info.

That looks nice, but man...... $2500? Have any of you checked out Murphy's stuff? I'm going to use his brackets on my 5.3 in my 71 Camaro.

The system looks really good...and compact. Priced at $1,800 from Holley and in December was on sale for around $1,600 as I recall.

Looks like I had old pricing. My buddy did say he orders from Holley directly and receives a discount. It helps that his shop restored a Mustang for the owner of Holley. He also prototype'd some products on his 2nd gen Camaro that went to Sema back in 16'.

That is a good connection Marc.

Probably price dropped due to competition. Which is great....anyone notice the Holley fuel injection priced to compete with FiTech?

That's a very nice set up!

my only concern would be the custom waterpump

Great point, Might be good idea to by an extra water pump for down the road. Just in case availability is an issue down the road.

doesnt the article say it uses an C7 vette pump?

Yes, that's how I understood it as well. I figured it was an off the shelf item if you needed to replace it.

It uses design elements of the C7 water pump. So, if a water pump goes bad, you will need one from Holley is how I interpret the information they provided.

OVERVIEWSPECSTECH RESOURCES
Holley’s Mid-Mount complete accessory system has all accessories pulled in tighter than other accessory drives. At the heart of the system is a “bracketless” design (Patent Pending), where the accessories bolt directly to the water pump for a clean, integrated form. The design offers superb engine visibility to show off your horsepower, not your accessories. Among the many swap friendly features are bottom heater outlets for clearance in tight applications. The Holley designed alternator is just as innovative. This premium alternator utilizes hairpin/square wire, 6-phase technology as found on the C7 Corvette. The water pump also shares its design efficiencies with that of the C7 Corvette. The compact and reliable SD7 A/C compressor and Type II P/S pump with baffled reservoir are also integrated. The Mid-Mount drive completes Holley’s trilogy of accessory solutions giving a third option compared to the High and Low-Mount previously released. All three accessory solutions are for LS engines. When we say “complete”, we mean complete. The Mid-Mount system comes with everything you need. All accessories are included; the water pump, A/C compressor, Alternator, P/S pump with reservoir, and the crank damper. All pulleys and the belt are supplied. Even heater hose adapters, power steering to -6 AN hardline, and the alternator plug/harness are included. Easy assembly was a priority during the entire development of this accessory solution. Color graphical instructions walk you through every step of the ultra-easy installation.

Bracketless accessory mounting with ultra-easy assembly
Bottom outlet heater hose options for swap application clearance

Pretty compact footprint.

The belt wrap on the crank and ps pump looks minimal, though I am sure Holley engineered it to work well.

Other thoughts?
