Red Headed Stepchild-75 Swinger LSX Swap
Learn something new every day. I learned that the ict bullet kit I got requires a 68 inch belt to ensure everything is I the right position, and to get rid of the standard idler pulley. However if you're running a factory ls1 car intake or fast lsxr low profile Intake, and a ls2 90mm throttle body, the position. The alternator is put In when the 68 inch belt is put on, it makes contact with the throttle body, not allowing you to connect the plug from the wiring harness.
To fix this issue they designed a adapter that allows you to rotate the throttle body slightly, and clear everything.
Also. As stated earlier with the addition of the bracket kit, the up and forward manifolds no longer clear(good thing I got them for $80), and now I've mocked up the stock truck manifolds facing forward and down, they didnt clear either. So my search continued, and I came across these. And the company was kind enough to send me the dimensions, so I'll be measuring them tomorrow to see if they will clear, if so they would solve a very man peoples issue with ls headers that will clear the stock steering and allow us to very simply run the exhaust as normal, and wont break the bank. The only issue I may see with these is the steering shaft depending on how that collector is run. Seeing as there is no one I know of that will just ship these to you for a test fit, it may end up having to be a purchase and then return if it doesn't fit. So if that's the case I may have to go through summit or something, whoever has the best return policy just in case.
