Doea a Impala, Buick roadmaster, Buick Wagon have a different accessory drive set up where I could use the std sbc 3 hole mount on the passenger side ? The drivers side is fine........Thanks for the the help in advance. Kieth

'65 C-10, 65 L-60, 65 C-80, 72 C-60 & and a bunch of old Chevy cars.
Never time to do it right, always time to do it over.

Can you use a late 80's or early 90's accessory bracket which would move the compressor to the top of the engine.I'm thinking Van/Truck with a 5.0 or 5.7 .
In the works 2006 GEN III 6.0 /4L80E/ 205 New process,A/C and power brakes .

Maybe you can find an old Vette that's being parted out. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 58 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 58 | Only LT1 accessory brackets will work on an LT1 engine as the bracket mounting bolt holes are in a different location from other small blocks. The Camaro, Caprice and Corvette each had different accessories and different drive hubs on the crank. Your options are - get the complete Corvette accessory system, use the BRRS bracket or notch the frame. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 843 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 843 | Kieth, you also have the option of fabricating the bracket. Doing that would enable you to end up with exactly what you want.
Previous generations of street rodders didn't have Summit Racing, Jegs, Speedway Motors, etc so we made a lot of our own stuff. It's really not hard to do if you have access to metal remnants, a drill, a hacksaw or bandsaw and an AC buzzbox welder.
