Hello!!!

Is it possible to fit VA sanden compressor to LSx engine with Fbody brackets ? I know VA sells adapter brackets witch mounts Sanden compressor to stock fbody ac braket but i heard from DSE at it wont clear the frame and i should get 3000 bucks custom system

Is there any solution for this ? Shorter custom adapter wich will mount sanden compressor closer ??

I can't say specifically for your application, but I modified the brackets that came with my Vintage Air kit so that it was mounted low and hugged the block. Mine isn't an LSx and I have no experience with them so I'm not sure if you would be able to do something similar with your install. I didn't like the look of having it way up top away from the engine is why I did mine down low and I had to have it hug the block because of the engine plate mounts on the Chris Alston's subframe I bought.

I'm on the same boat. There is nothing available that keeps the Fbody location and clears the DSE sub. There are mounts that move it up top from S&P and ebay which you could find at the end of this thread but I'm not digging the look too much.

I like the look of the stock acc. mounts, but will probably go with VA's kit which I think sells for a little over $2k. ATS's kit looks killer but it's almost double the price of VA's...

March LS1 kit looks very nice in black also

We sell the ATS, Vintage Air and March.

He dont have DSE frame but i think hes quite close to it with morrison frame.

I have an mockup engine and mock up brakets. As soon as get sanden compressor i let you know does it fit.

Frank, i know you have those killer drive systems for sale but they kill my budjet too. There must be at least something oem stuff we can use
