March makes one and so do the guys at Time Machines (Norms Garage).

Personally I'm not too crazy about either one..... I'm not a big fan of the big "wing" type bracket up front.

I've been searching/waiting for one for 2 years now....no one is making one.... the market is just too small. Every year at SEMA I bug the crap out of the guys at Billet Specialties and some other companies that make stuff for the LS motors etc etc.....no one seems interested.

At this point I think I'm reserved to the fact that I will just have to make due with the stock layout.....cant afford someone to make a custom one for me.

just looked at the March kit. I dont like the way it looks the factory setup looks better in my opinion

[DRJDVM's '69]

I agree. At least the stock one is relatively low and compact. The few aftermarket ones are too high and forward. They just seem big and bulky.

The challenge is the front cover. With the way the stock stuff mounts, it's hard to change that without doing a completely new cover, which would add a ton of cost
The starting point is just tougher that the other engine designs

I agree on the March kit. I don't care for the looks. If you are running a truck front cover with no intent of converting to the car front cover, then it will work, but if you are already running a car front cover/accessories, there is not point in changing because they are low, out of the way and not too ugly...

This company used to make a really nice 3G Hemi drive. I've seen one in person and it looked great. I'm not sure if the company is still in business?

They are out of business. When I first saw that I was planning on using it. Then they had all kinds of issues with all their stuff..... Orders not delivered, missing parts etc. There were design issues with the Hemi set up too. The company ended up closing down. Shame..... It looked nice, but didn't pan out

the March kit was prototyped and designed on an engine I loaned them.

I dont know if I have a truck front cover or a car. The motor came with a cover but no pullys or accesories
