Hey guys after going back and forth I decided going Ls9 route on 91 600whp or so for now. Was just wondering will my ls7 valley cover work with a Ls9 blower? Also anyway of getting a Ls9 accessory drive cheaper than spending 2000$ for a new one?
So far I have is
sleeved ls7 block
1/2inch head studs
fully forged
katech oil pump
ls9 PRC heads
About to pick up a Ls9 throttle body and ligenfelter intake
I used a LS3 valley cover on my LS9 build by swapping out the pcv tube at the front with gm#12605722. I made a special tool to press it into the fitting. You will also need the plastic flex hose gm#12619622
The hardest part of the accessory drive system to find is the power steering pump and bracket. The LS9 throttle body is just a LS truck throttle body. Nothing special about it. They can be purchased new for about $160.
The picture shows the tool I made to tap the tube into the boss.
I can’t find any accessory parts as of now some guy wants 2000$ for a wet sump ati lower balancer which sucks since I have drysump I don’t even need AC
I see stock tensioners and pulleys come up occasionally here and the odd stock balancer. I managed to buy a stock new power steering pump but can’t find the pulley/bracket. My kit car doesn’t use power steering so it isn’t that big a deal.
GX427, I have a dry sump oil pan, windage tray, balancer, timing cover and exhaust manifolds all from an LS9 if you are interested in them for your build. Also have the oil cooler.
