working on my lt1 motor putting altn power steering pump air unit and none of my pulleys line up with harmanic balancer pulley its like I need spacers between bracket that every thing mounts to but don't recall any there double check balancer that really only goes on one way kinda stumped any body have this happen to them don't no the only way I see to fix it is put some kind of spacer between head and block where bracket mounts to bring it out to match harmonic pully mmmm stumped

 

mmm wonder if iam doing this thread stuff right iam a new guy on this site and not the best on the computer o well lol

 

LT1 needs LT1 accessories. And even among the balancer spacing is different. Use the accessories that match the car the engine came out of.

 

every thing is what came off this motor just seems weird just took thing off to clean and paint thing up my buddy took the bracket apart but he is now gone on vacation only thing is I can think is washers behind mounting bracket that is a one piece bracket that everything else mounts to just thought some buddy would no if there is spacers or washers between main bracket that bolts to block and head any info would help thanks

 

Where in WI are you? Your more than welcome to look at mine. Might help.

 

iam in Manitowoc if you could look behind altnator and look and see if there is a washer or spacer inbetween main mounting bracket and the block or head that would be awesome do you no what I mean

 

its the bracket that altnator is mounted to

 

and power steering air conditioner theres like one big bracket has 4 bolts that bolt to block and head then you bolt all pumps and altanator to it thanks

 

nice car you have there justin69 she looks awsome

 

Wow. Your pretty close. If you don't mind sending me a pm with your number, I can text you the pics I took. I don't see any washers or spacers of any kind.

 

Camaro/Firebird, Caprice/Impala/Roadmaster, and Corvette all have different accessory setups. The F-body and B-Body setups are the closest to eachother. The vette is very different.

Even among the same body line (F-bodies for example) the 93-95 Hubs are different from the 96 and 97's. This is due to the inclusion of a reluctor ring for the crank position sensor.

Not only are the accessories slightly different, the crank hub depth is different between them. If your engine has the wrong hub, then it could explain why there are spacers on the accessories and why the belts don't line up.

 

Mine was out of a 93 Z28. Should be the same as the firebird I would think. I'm not sure if they changed through the years though.

 

There are minor differences between model years and platforms. The water pumps between all three platforms are different. The crank hubs are different. The transmissions are different.

Basically, the easiest way to complete the swap is to find out what year/platform engine you have and go with parts for that. Especially considering it sounds like the OP's setup was adapted from something else. There were no spacers for the accessories, so someone used something slightly different.

 

thanks for the heads up

 

You should really not post your phone number publicly on the internet.

Unless you want cold calls from ad agencies. In which case, please continue.

 

thing is I don't get this motor was running fine with same accessories iam putting back on its like iam missing something iam doing here nothing has changed hopfly Justin you got my number so I can come and look at yours that would be awesome thanks 89 gta for input to

 

Get it fixed? I dont recall having any spacers behind my acc bracket.
Do all of the accessories line up with each other and just not the crank pully?

 

yes they do I think its wrong crank pully took crank pully off and they had a nut on the bolt for a washer 96 had differ crank pully I found out so someone had wrong pully on there don't no y they would have done that
