Thanks to Rick Love at Vintage Air and Nathan at Kahn Media I have a front drive!  This is a brand new item for Vintage Air, using a one-piece casting to hold all the accessories. Also it's a mid mount, which I much prefer, keeping all the accessories in tight to the middle of the engine instead of hanging up high or outside the heads. Fit and finish is excellent, a very simple and sturdy install. Now I can finish up the hot side fab for the Turbo and get rolling again.

I saw these in the VA catalog when we were @ LoneStar Throwdown/Conroe TX a couple of weeks ago.
Vintage Air's version of Holley's Mid-Mount kit/s.

I love the billet pulleys on the VA kit.

Nice.
Does the new cast center use a LT "cartridge" style water pump?
I've got one of the older black anodized billet bracket VA frontrunners, it's a nice piece (but more belt wrap on the power steering pulley world be nice)

It is a bolt in cartridge style pump, not sure what it came off of.

That's a good looking front drive, Jody. Will you leave it raw aluminum or coat it?
