Re: LT1 GenV swap
I thought I'd let you guys know that Holley will soon be releasing an LT FEAD system as well and it is based on the use of an LS water pump and uses the existing Holley LS alternator/PS pump components/brackets also. It was previewed at LS Fest last weekend and I can post a photo of it next week if you guys want to get a look at it.

Can't find anything linking a lt1 to a ls fead setup but it looks like it would or could clear a vacuum pump.

Re: LT1 GenV swap
No, the vacuum pump was not retained as it won't physically fit in most LS swap applications. The pump is only used in truck applications to augment the vacuum signal when the engine is operating in cylinder deactivation mode, so if will not be needed by someone that is not interested in utilizing that function in their swap.

Re: LT1 GenV swap
Thanks for the picture. What's the solution to a vacuum source? Drilling and tapping the truck manifold or electric pump? Will there be other fead setups or just this one pictured.
Thanks Tod, Clint

Re: LT1 GenV swap
I'll have to check on the answer to your vacuum source question. I think this system will be it for the LT1 engines and we are working on a different system for the supercharged LT4 engines as well for release next year.

Re: LT1 GenV swap
I spoke with the VP of sales and marketing, Wayne Powell, from Kwik Performance today at the good guys show at Texas motor Speedway. They have an A/C and alt. bracket set up that comes with a type 2 power steering pump that works with the factory L83 truck water pump, leaving the vacuum pump in its factory location. I think He told me it is $535 or so shipped to your door. You still would need to provide your own reservoir for the power steering pump. Sorry for the sideways photo.

Re: LT1 GenV swap
Here's a bracket I made to work with the TVS1900 I put on my engine with the Holley brackets:

Re: LT1 GenV swap
That's a good observation on your part, the brackets are the exact same ones used in the Holley LS FEAD drive set-up, which are adapted to the bolt pattern of the LT engine by means of the adapters in-between them both. This configuration was beneficial in keeping cost in check so that pricing will close to what the LS set-up is. The alternator position won't be preferable by everyone, especially those using a stock take-out ECU and wiring harness. For those going with an aftermarket EFI system like those from Holley, then the connections needed are just as easily made as if the alternator was mounted elsewhere. I know our beloved GM trucks are the focus of this forum, but there are many more applications Holley makes swap parts for that require configurations or designs that are not necessarily optimized for our trucks.

Does the holley brackets fit a stock lt1 alternator? This is basically what it is.. it woukd use the captors alternator and tensioner... gonna need to put the intake on it, but it should be 0 problems with that, and ad far as hood clearance, it's only raised maybe 1-2 inches... if the intake is higher than the alt, no problems

Re: LT1 GenV swap
Toddoky,
I just read my last post.... Boy that sounded demanding. I was extra leg happy to see you working on this. Do you guys have a target release for this kit. Will we be able to purchase it in components, as the LS kits are offered. Thanks |

Re: LT1 GenV swap
I understood you were just looking for info and wasn't put-off by your inquiry. The development of the Holley accessory drives is not something I work directly on (they are handled by another design engineer on staff) and so I can only report information on them second-hand as information is made available to me. I've not heard what the target release date is, but the components are in the tooling phase, so that would usually indicate a timeframe of 2-3 months.
