raull · 05-01-2012, 08:50 PM

i cant wait !!!!!!

mcbassin · 05-01-2012, 10:48 PM

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

gringoloco · 05-01-2012, 11:13 PM

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?

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

raull · 05-02-2012, 02:30 PM

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

Lower · 05-05-2012, 09:11 AM

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.

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

gringoloco · 05-06-2012, 02:49 PM

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!

thanks for the info !!!

69CST-V · 05-06-2012, 07:35 PM

Raul it's the same as a lsa. The idler pulley above the compressor is almost in the same place as the superchaeprger pulley. I went and measured my buddies ctsv today to get some dimensions. Just FYI. They were at least super close measuring with a tape measure inside the car.

cool , im sure its probably a minimal difference , i guess gmpp does not want to be responsible for the small tweaks when they sell these kits , these kits are not for everyone , so its a good thin to post and read as much info as possible before anybody goes and spends 800.00 bucks on one of these kits ,you may have to temper with your frame a lttle with some of these swaps , i for one have no problem tempering with my frame , so ill be the ginea pig and ill post every detail on it once i get to that stage an a month or so , thanks again for all the info guys

Good deal. Family is important even if it hurts in the morning. We can't keep up like we would like but it's hard to admit it.
