What else is required to complete the installation:
- GM BBC engine (1966-1993) -or- (1994-2000)
- 366, 396, 402, 427, 454, 502, 572
- AC and Alt/PS aluminum drive brackets off of a GM Truck engine listed above.
- The brackets should include the idler and tensioner.
- Air conditioner compressor (from donor vehicle)
- Note: A good reason to use a 1994 and up compressor is that the compressor will use R134a refrigerant.
- Alternator (from donor vehicle)
- Power Steering Pump(from donor vehicle)
- A smooth water pump pulley is required (GM part number 10085760 or 19418445)
- Donor engines should have the correct pulley. (The pulley with flanges does not work)
- Water Pump Pulley: (Kwik Performance PN 19418445).
- A reverse rotation water pump off of a 1988-1999 454 engine.
- This is considered a "long" pump and is 7 5/16" from block to fan mounting surface.
- Gates replacement Water Pump: (Kwik Performance PN 44030).
- A big-block crankshaft pulley, GM part number 10085753 (usually retails for $150+)
- Solution: We have developed an adapter to let you bolt on the SBC crank pulley from the donor engine.
- Crank Pulley Adapter for BBC engines (1966-93): (Kwik Performance PN K10259).
- Crank Pulley Adapter for BBC engines (1994-2000): (Kwik Performance PN K10540).
- Donor engine didn't come with crank pulley? We've got you covered: SBC Crank Pulley: (Kwik Performance PN 10085754).
- Six-rib belt, See our included installation instructions for suggested lengths and Gates part numbers.
- Alternator rating and PS pulley diameters can change suggested lengths.
- Always check tensioner marks for correct fitment.
- A tall deck engine will require a belt that is about 1" longer.
- A new thermostat housing may be needed to allow the upper radiator hose to clear the alternator.
- The Chevelle shown is using a swivel-neck housing.
- Upper radiator hose will probably need to change, but your vehicle's stock big-block lower hose, should work.
