Description

These adapter plates let you bolt on factory small block Chevy and V6 serpentine brackets to your big block Chevy engine.
Get late model looks, reliability, and performance from your Rat without paying big bucks or scouring the salvage yards for a rare factory BBC setup.
Your engine will look like it has the factory cast aluminum setup that GM never made, but should have!
Fits standard and tall deck engines.

Obtain your factory brackets from two different donor truck groups:
• 1990-1995 Full size trucks: V8 5.7L, V8 5.0L, and V6 4.3L
• 1987-1995 S10 pickups and S10 Blazers: V6 4.3L

What’s included:
  • Adapter plates made of 6061-T6 aircraft grade aluminum (brushed satin finish)
  • Zinc coated fasteners
    • Bolts for adapter plates AND to attach OEM brackets included
    • Both 3/8 and 7/16 bolts are included for the passenger side head, since the holes vary for different years
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)
    • View the 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.
    • View the Gates replacement Water Pump: (Kwik Performance PN 44030).
  • A big-block crankshaft pulley, GM part number 19245468 (usually retails for $200+)
  • Six-rib belt, See our included installation instructions for suggested lengths and Gates part numbers.
    • Complete Gates belt chart available here. GATES BELT CHART
    • 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.
Don't want to run AC? Here is the adapter to do that!
