Looks like a factory 4th Gen F-body setup.. with some very cool detailing.

David- The drive system is out of a 2006 GTO.. & the alternator is very close to the lines on the rack n pinion but we are looking @ making some kinda of custom fitting .. I really like the alternator low as on this system but @ times can be difficult to run due to power steering lines & when running engine cooler lines..

I really perfer to run stock GM track systems..

here is a picture of the custom fitting that were done for the power steering pump... A banjo for the pressure & -10 for the feed on fluid to the pump.. Custom tank is in design right now...

Here is another preferred GM product we like using here @ JCG.. On our T56 Magnum conversions we use the F-body/GTO clutch throw out bearing & like to enhance it with the option to remote bleed it & for plumbing with transmission removal make our own adapter to quick dis-connect the lines from the transmission..
