LS3- Whipple 2.9SC- Vintage Air geniv- 69 camaro

[diesel25lrs]

So here is my predicament...

I have a new camaro LS3 with a whipple on top and VA gen iv AC going into a 69 camaro.
I have the frame notched to run the Sanden comp. down low pass. side.

Does anyone make an aftermarket front drive system that will work with a whipple or am I stuck with stock GM camaro pully system?
I found a bracket to eliminate the Kwik bracket from top pass. side and move it back to stock location on the AC comp.


Help....

I've found that LS1tech.com is your best source for this type of info.

[duvall408w]

Yes same one.

[diesel25lrs]

Yes same one.


ok, found out some info- as of right now- no one makes an aftermarket 2010 camaro & up front drive system for use with a whipple- a couple companies said they should be able to do it. Venturaspeed makes one that will work without a SC and is working on one for SC right now.
The balancer on camaro is same one used on all GM trucks 5.3l and up I believe.

One option I'm not sure if you have considered or not is the Innovator's West pulley kit. They make both 8-rib and 10-rib conversion kits that will use the factory 2010+ Camaro accessories but convert it to either 8-rib or 10-rib to help alleviate belt slip. We have used them on some of the Camaros that we have installed a 416 CID LS3 and 2.9L Whipple. I know this doesn't get you aftermarket accessories, but it can help both with appearance and functionality. The down side is the cost, but they are incredibly nice items! We have used their balancers on a lot of 2009+ Cadillac CTS-V's with great success! I have listed their 8-rib setup below:

Feel free to give us a call if we can help you out. We offer all of the Innovator's West products.

Thanks!

Trevor,
Thanks much! I will check it out. I did end up going with stock GM camaro drive so this will def. be an option!
