High Mount AC Compressor Drive with Compressor for LS Engine Swaps
Getting reliable air conditioning while swapping in an LS engine often becomes a challenge that this High Mount AC Compressor Drive w/Compressor - Long addresses head on. Designed to fit an array of GM platforms from classic Corvettes to modern F bodies, this assembly positions the compressor above the engine block for consistent cooling under heavy load. Each unit arrives with a precision tensioner and billet aluminum pulley to ensure proper belt alignment and long service life. Installation remains straightforward thanks to the extra balancer length, making it a solid choice for engine swap projects where space and performance matter.
Precision Engineered Fit for LS Engine Swaps
The drive assembly is crafted with exacting tolerances to match LS engine mounting points across a wide range of GM chassis. Precision machining of the pulley and bracket ensures consistent belt tracking, reducing the risk of accessory slippage and premature wear. By maintaining uniform spacing between the compressor and engine block, it delivers reliable operation under high-load conditions. This meticulous design approach eliminates much of the trial and error typically associated with engine conversion projects.
High Efficiency 7-Piston Compressor Integration
The integrated 7-Piston compressor design increases refrigerant displacement for superior cooling capacity in all driving environments. Multiple pistons distribute the compression load more evenly, minimizing vibration and enhancing overall longevity. Placing the unit in a high mount position promotes better airflow, aiding heat rejection and maintaining peak performance even in extreme temperatures. The assembly arrives fully assembled, offering plug-and-play operation without additional component sourcing.
Lightweight Billet Aluminum Durability
Constructed from solid billet aluminum, this drive assembly offers an ideal balance of strength and weight reduction. The alloy's inherent corrosion resistance protects critical surfaces from environmental damage, extending service life in demanding applications. Precision CNC machining also yields smooth mounting surfaces that resist fatigue and maintain optimal belt alignment over time. This robust yet light design contributes to sharper engine response and improved vehicle dynamics.
Streamlined Installation with Extended Balancer Length
Featuring an extended balancer length, the assembly bridges the gap between modern LS engines and classic GM frames without additional modifications. This lengthened crank interface allows direct belt routing to accessories, removing the need for custom idlers or shims. Comprehensive mounting hardware and a precision tensioner are included to secure the setup and achieve correct belt tension on first installation. The result is a more efficient build process and a cleaner engine bay layout.
Engineered for precise fit and consistent cooling this drive assembly delivers dependable air conditioning for any LS engine swap.
