That seems to happen to me a lot too. I thought I was going to be done with this project in a few months (like 3-4), not a year! I'm coming up on a year quickly.

I'm using the stock accessory brackets that came with the engine, which I believe are the same as standard truck brackets. I have one exception with the A/C mount. I actually bought the Dirty Dingo low mount A/C bracket to use the Sanden SD7 compressor I had on my small block in the truck before. I understand the newer compressors that come with these engines to be variable speed, which is not compatible with old factory air or the Vintage Air stuff, plus it was going to need frame work to clear the A/C lines coming out of the compressor.

I'm very pleased with them and think they were worth every penny. If you think the VHX gauges are expensive, take a look at the new HDX units!
