an easy place to put it is outside the framerail behind the passenger seat, plenty of room to work with and it wont get in the way of anything.

Your built looks freaking awesome man, great job!!
I'm putting a 5.3L in my 85 GMC 1/2 ton pickup, and was wanting to use an LS1 intake. I'm glad to see that it CAN be used with the truck accessories. If you don't mind me asking, where does the "spacer about 3/4 inches thick or a ton of washers, a longer bolt" go? And I think you said something about needing to swap out water pumps. What vehicle is the new pump for?
Thanks in advance!

here she is with a new belt routed for the car style intake. if you do it like this you will need a spacer about 3/4 inches thick or a ton of washers, a longer bolt, and a belt that is 102 inches long to 102.5 inches long, any shorter or longer and it wont work. it took me 4 belts to find that out. 100 and 101 were both too short, and a 102.7 fit but didn't have enough tension on it.

the spacer and longer bolt goes onto the alternator bracket. it moves the idler pulley from beside the alternator to right below it. if you look at the picture of mine then at your stock one you will see where I moved the idler pulley from. then just cut off where the idler pulley was.
also I used all thread to make a stud to go there since I couldnt find the right length bolt.

well I picked up more wire and got the last of my tank mounts finished up, cut the frame for the filler tube, got the rest of the battery relocating stuff, and relocated the charcoal canister. also cleaned, primed, and painted the inner fenders to match the firewall. before I put the front end together I will be painting everything in the engine bay to match the firewall.
I also got news today that my wiring will be here on wednesday!
and on to the pics, the tank sits nice and high but still clears the bed without cutting any of the supports.
more updates to come this weekend!
