Anyone tried the mid or low mount accessory drive kit from Holley. Like to know if either kit fits in a G body. It will need to clear headers and a single turbo.
Nice build. You seem to be building something similar to what im doing. Well, Build wise atleast. looks you also did a frame off. Anyways i was told to go with holleys mid mount kit as it would compress everything in the center and leave enough space for the twin turbos. That package arrives today, i expect to have it on the block by the weekend.Anyone tried the mid or low mount accessory drive kit from Holley. Like to know if either kit fits in a G body.

It definitely tucks the accessories close to the center. Low accessories from of a different chassis like an F body or a truck do not fit in these cars. I've cut plenty of cars, race cars and crap boxes in the past but this car is not getting it's frame clearanced to make something fit if I have an option. This led me to the Holley system.Nice build.

That looks super clean. I’m planning on mating the trans yo the block , dropping in and THEN installing the kit. Just cuz I don’t have a shop. Pita really just trying to make sure everything I get fits first time.It definitely tucks the accessories close to the center.

This is not only a solution to make it fit. It's also ALL brand new. The idea of installing a used ac compressor from a 20 year old truck or a power steering pump with 400,000kms is a low buck option that I feel will have a bad ending some day. So what you spend buying it is offset by what an awesome piece it is.
The frame off was not by choice, the car was in an accident. There is some pics in build thread, Boost Lee.
Looks good. Just got around to installing mine and not sure exactly how to hook up their power steering. Looks like black nipple is for reservoir and one line to steering gear? What other connections are needed?I have the mid mount on my LS. Very clean look. Very well engineered. View attachment 217128
Did you get it figured out? Just a supply to gear and a return. If running a cooler then return goes to that in/out and back to reservoir.Looks good.
