Does anyone know if I will need to radically change the radiator cradle with the procharger? I am sure that I will, but I haven't seen any info on the subject. I have seen plenty to put a procharger into my wife's Vette though. Thanks in advance for any help!!!

 

You're going to have to find out how far the procharger sticks off the front fo the block. But, the 3rd gen k-member sits back further than the 4th gen. And the radiator support is more vertical than the 4th gen. There's a good bit of room in there, depending how far off the block the blower sits though...

I dont recall anyone having a procharger on an LS1 swapped thirdgen yet. Anything can be made to work though....

Thanks ghetto!! I haven't started on it yet. It is going to be a long process!!!! I am hoping to match my wife's car. As far as performance. BTW, do you know where a man can get a center console for an 86 TA? I have looked at Hawk's and Youngs FBody and they both say it has been discontinued. I have checked junkyards around my house and they are in worse condition than mine.

 

I had looked into this a couple years ago but, like you, couldn't find much information. I spoke to Bob from Brute Speed (formerly of EPP) and he showed me a setup he put on a Cadillac CTS-V that may also work. I think it may have been a slightly modified version of the GTO kit that puts the head unit near the PS pump. He also had this setup on an LSX RX-7. I think if it would fit on an RX-7, it would most definitley fit on a thirdgen. The Vette kit may also work well. Either way it'll be a tight fit.

 

I am looking into doing this too, but haven't found very much information on it either. I did find a picture someone posted over on LS1Tech using the universal sbc bracket I believe. The MAF looks awful close to the radiator though...

 

Where are you located man?? I have a pretty perfect center console from my 86. The sides havent even separated. I wasnt looking to ship it because its big and awkward...but let me know where you are and who knows.
