John.tempest Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Hey guys, So I have done some reading and research and I am very surprised to find nothing on this topic. I am about to start assembling my lq4 based 408 stroker. The front timing cover I have on this motor is from the stock lq4. The car I am swapping it into is a 73 240z and I do not want the car to have power steering or ac. Does anybody know of a front accessory drive combo, with part numbers, that will mount to my motor, place the alternator in the f body position, and will work with the lq4 front timing cover? Any issues with the F body mounting position. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naptown Dave Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I'm sure it's been covered on LS1tech I built my own mounts to fit the f body layout but I believe the JCI kit fits as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John.tempest Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 I searched on ls1 tech. Even posted a new topic and haven't gotten any responses. Just worried about clearances on the strut towers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Did you try the Google? Seems promising. You're not on a phone are you? https://www.google.com/webhp?tab=ww&ei=dq5PVNe5B8j8igLU9ICABg&ved=0CAMQ1S4#q=240z+lq4+accessories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks If all you want is to run the alternator in the F body position on a truck then simply buy a LS1 F body alternator bracket and mount it on your block. Your iron block should have a flat boss that you will drill and tap. You will need to cut a spacer to make up the difference between truck and passenger car crank/water pump pully. I used scrap AL flat plate. Advantage is that the longer 135 Amp truck alternator will clear the Z motor mounts.. The spacer would be .50 or .75 inches. This modification is covered somewhere on HybridZ. You do have to buy 2 longer shoulder bolts with allen heads to clear the serpentine belt. You, of course, remove and sell the truck p/s & alternator mount. Edited September 24, 2015 by zgeezer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crapforum Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 They sell the alternator mount on eBay for truck depth pulleys, that's what I used. And yes you need to drill and tap a hole on the block as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
