LeeMS Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 First off i've been lurking for about a year now, in that time have aquired a '95 pont. trans am lt1 t56 totalled car,a '76 280z, JTR mounts, radiator and books, sanderson D port coated headers thanks to all your group advise. Installed the trans am seats, modified the console with the trans am armrest and made a front grill. We'll be removing engs in the next few weeks. My question for now is has anyone come up with an mid or low mount for the lt1 alt bracket?I've seen the power steering gut method and would like something more simple if poss. Undecided about sending the harness out or doing it ourselves. This site has been AWESOME,could not have gotten this far without searching the board for the last 11 months. Here is a pic of my car: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartman Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Sounds like your well on your way. Since you've been searching you've probably found quite a few threads talking about running just an alternator and crank pulley belt. To the best of my knowledge nobody has succeeded in getting this to work on their LT1 powered Z. There's even been talk of mounting the alternator flipped around in front of the engine and spinning it backwards, but I don't think anyone ever actually tried it. Although gutting the power steering pump doesn't sound like the best solution, I really don't see any problems with this setup. I think my power steering pulley actually spins better than my other pulleys and it keeps the proper geometry as well. Good luck, and keep us updated with your progress.
