Re: 5.3 accessories..
Not likely. The Alternator is too far out to the Drivers side and for most cowl hoods it will hit it right where the cowl comes down. The Power steering pump really isnt an issue. Some Cowl hoods have a wider cowl such as the big block hood, or the Jongbloed hood are wide enough, but I don't know if they are tall enough or not.

I haven't seen anyone on here that have done the kwik brackets. I doubt it will be very hard to do the alt, as for the PS, check the sticky threads they may have info on what you are looking for.

Just bought a camaro from the classified section here last friday with plans to put my 5.3 Lh6 in it. I was also contemplating the kwik performance brackets. The hood won't close?? Someone has to have tried this.

Re: 5.3 accessories..
I believe there are a couple people in the middle of their swaps who have said they are going to use the kwik brackets but I have not seen any pics either.

Re: 5.3 accessories..
ok im jumping in on this thread. im also doing the 5.3 truck into 88 camaro. i notice there was a company called dirtydingo.com and they sell a relocation bracket that drops the alternator down and lets you use the ls1/ls6 intake.
my question is 1#will i have to get a fbody water pump no matter what with this kit cause of the direction of the thermostat housing?
2. will the crank pulley and everything else work. will this bracket be the savior to all my probs...?
he is the site. hope someone chimes in
