GM LS Wet-Sump Front Runner® Accessory Drive, without Power Steering by Vintage Air®

Matched serpentine accessory drive with A/C compressor, alternator, water pump and tensioner.

This Vintage Air® Front Runner® drive uses a pressure-tested A356-T6 aluminum casting with integrated accessory mounts for wet-sump GM LS engines. Lowering the water pump 1 inch improves intake and throttle-body clearance; inboard heater outlets offer side or bottom routing for frame and suspension clearance. A 6061-T6 aluminum pump cartridge contains a steel impeller, OEM-specification seal and ball-roller bearings. The housing accommodates the original timing solenoid, an M12 temperature-sender boss and an LS2-style thermostat. A smaller ATI harmonic balancer adds clearance below the drive. Included are a compressor with billet O-ring adapter, 170-amp alternator rated at 140 amps at idle, billet pulleys, serpentine belt, tensioner and cover, ARP stainless hardware and instructions. This version excludes the power-steering pump and drive. Choose Black, Bright, Chrome/Black or Chrome/Bright to coordinate the accessory finish with your engine bay. Check the selected kit’s instructions for engine and chassis clearance.
