Has anybody completed a LSx swap and used the corvette accessories? If so could I get a couple of pics posted. Was there any problems using the corvette parts?

 

anyone?

 

can an F-body LS1 use/bolt on corvette accessories?

 

I'm using the corvette accesories on mine. I'm not finished yet but everything looks fine.

The only problem i ran into was with the A/C. I had two problems. 1. the compressor sits a little bit farther back with the vette then the f-body. 2. the clock positon of where the lines bolt onto the compressor made running the lines almost impossible. So i was going to use the vette bracket with an f-body compressor. But to do this you need to cut a little bit more out of the k-member then what you would have if you used the f-body accesories.

But now i decided i'm not going to use A/C at all since the compressor doesn't fit with my spohn k-member(I think this is because i ordered the k-member with the front brace mounts).

You can use the corvette accessories on an F-body LS1 but you would need to buy all of the vette brackets(powersteering, A/C, Alternator, and harmonic balancer)

 

Thanks for posting. Schweeeet Spohn bumper

 

BURN. Looks like slp to me.

 

ha, its a one of a kind.

 

You should mass produce them. They'd be big sellers in certain parts of the country. . .

 

is it possible to put a ls engine in without the ac or would it need a delete pulley or something i dont really need or want a/c and thinking about a ls swap

thanks

 

well you can do a delete pulley. and i think i saw that bumper over at home depot yesterday. never knew they were going into the car parts... sorry they beat you on the patent.

 

Looks like one of the steps on my deck..........

I just looked out and they're all there. Your lucky.


Man, we are just giving you a hard time, because we are jealous that we don't have a LS1. And that is the only flaw that we see.

 

You don't need an A/C detele pully, atleast not for the vette accesories. I have two belts, one for just the AC and another for all the other accesories.

I'm not taking anyones comments personal, its all in fun.

I don't want to hijack the thread but ehres the real reason for the wood:

 

Damn.... thats a very solid car

 

Schweeeeeeeeeet

 

Boy, do I feel sheepish. . .

 

 

Now that I see more pics... I think your right! Bitchin work 0605

 

you must have a small garage if you have to park your car on its side to get it to fit in there

 

Small but tall. (insert "thats what she said" joke here.)

 

I want to do that to my car...
Those look like Spohn SFCs on there.

 

This thread is great... Personally, I'd like to see you take one of those hand-held propane or MAPP gas torches, & burn a 'Type R' into that wooden front bumper...

OK, since that's not likely to happen, how about you get a picture of that LSx engine from the side (once it's installed again), so that we can see the clearance you have with the Corvette accessory drive?
