Venture Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Has anyone ran 95ish Vortec accessory brackets on a Z? Will they fit under the hood? I modified a set, to run on my carbed LT-1 and they sit pretty high up there. I'll only be running the Alt and the A/C compressor. I was just wondering if anyone had tried them.

rsicard Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 There is or was a seller on Ebay that was selling camaro serpentine set that fits under the hood of a 240Z. Merely using shorter belts and eliminating power steering pump and water pump pulleys works fine. The seller is in Illinois and the sets come like they are NEW. All you need is a subset of pulleys and shorter serpentive belts. I am doing the same and a friend has also done the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsicard Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 The Vortec truck brackets will likely bump into the hood. Go to Ebay via the following address for a 1988 serpentine setup: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CHEVY-350-SERPENTINE-BELT-PULLEYS-AND-BRACKETS-HOT-ROD_W0QQitemZ160352284848QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item2555bdb0b0&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venture Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 I need something that will go around the big clunky LT-1 water pump. I got the motor with no brackets, and I'm trying to come up with a cost effective solution. Corvette brackets cost a fortune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsicard Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 If all you need to run is the alternator and air conditioning compressor via a less lengthy belt then the link that I gave you SHOULD work around the LT-1 water pump which is camshaft driven. I know it already works as it is on a friends 240Z and clears the hood but his is NOT a LT-1. Suggestion, I have a 1994 Buick Roadmaster with a LT-1 and have purchased an electric water pump for it that mounts to the front of the existing pump casting. That should eliminate any cooling issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
