Project: Doubler

Also noticed MR has an LT conversion oil pan, part number 000-6490-00.



It does not have the additional mounting like the Holley and OEM units.

Hey all,

Looking at belt drive systems, it looks like the options are:

Drive Junky Gen 5 LT4 Street Monster Serpentine blower drive:

Pace SS-LT4-FEA-1P :

Or you can go factory, but there is no power steering pump provisions and A/C is a separate item:

Personally, I'm leaning towards the drive junky unit. I prefer the belt routing for the super charger.

Anyone else see other options?

FYI, the Holley pan in the '70 Chevelle. Plenty of room.

Hey all,

Well, I'm a few weeks into the project and I have the front end off of the car, the old engine / trans sold and am slowly receiving parts.

I ended up sending the grill / radiator support / hood latch / etc. part of the front clip (i.e. the front clip minus the fenders and hood) to Dewitts so they can work through the multiple layers of cooling.

Drive Junky are still working on the belt, etc. for the front of the engine. The shipping ETA is about a week.

I did receive the Holley oil pan and am waiting for the other parts to do the install.

Working through the steering, I thought I would go with Lee Powersteering rebuilding / modifying the original gear box. They can do either 12.7:1, 14:1 or 16:1VR. After much research, I'm going to try the 12.7:1 and have the 3 bearing road race package done.

I'm curious to see how you like the Drive Junky FEAD. I like this build!

Thread updated to move from PB to postimg. Unreal!

Anyhow, making progress. Have the front clip off, A/C out, master cylinder / power brake booster, etc. off. At this point everything front of the firewall is off save for the frame and suspension.

Now for the interior...

Great info to have on the LT engines. It can be a challenge to be on the bleeding edge of new products, thanks for posting your build.
