LT Series AC and Power Steering Bracket for 6.6L L8T
When installing a 6.6L L8T powertrain into any chassis, aligning the air conditioning compressor and steering pump with factory pulley lines can be a tedious challenge. This LT Series AC/Power Steering Bracket 6.6L L8T provides a single bolt on solution that secures both components in perfect sync using a one piece high-grade billet aluminum design and integrated idler pulleys. Crafted to mirror the block geometry and finished with a corrosion resisting powder coat the bracket maintains consistent belt tension and reliable steering and climate control performance under all operating conditions.
Precision CNC Machined Billet Aluminum Structure
This bracket begins as a solid billet of premium aluminum that is shaped through precision CNC machining to achieve exact tolerances. By removing the need for welds or assembled pieces, the design resists fatigue and preserves alignment even after repeated temperature cycles under heavy load. Its rigid one piece form holds accessory shafts in perfect position, reducing vibration and preventing premature bearing wear on both the air conditioning compressor and steering pump. Installers appreciate the uniform mounting surfaces and consistent hole patterns that match factory provisions, making the bracket a reliable foundation for any LT powertrain project.
Durable Powder Coat Shield Against Corrosion and Wear
A specially applied powder coat finish creates a uniform protective layer that stands up to moisture, road grime, and debris impact in harsh environments. Unlike liquid paint, this thermoset coating cures into a robust shell that resists chips and abrasion around the engine bay. The treatment also endures rapid temperature swings without cracking or peeling, helping maintain both function and appearance over long term use. With this layer guarding the aluminum substrate, the bracket remains free of pitting and oxidation that can compromise fit and performance over time.
Integrated Idler Assembly for Stable Belt Routing
By incorporating idler pulleys directly into the bracket, belt alignment between the compressor, pump, and crank pulley is locked into the ideal path. This unified assembly minimizes belt deflection and slippage under sudden throttle inputs or heavy steering loads, ensuring consistent power delivery to the accessories. Optimal wrap angles reduce noise and heat buildup, while the elimination of extra spacers or brackets simplifies the engine bay layout. Technicians gain confidence that belt tension will remain within specification from startup through sustained operation.
Bolt On Installation for 6.6L L8T Configurations
Each mounting point on the bracket is laid out to match the native hole locations of the 6.6L L8T block, removing guesswork and trial fitting. Predrilled holes, locating pins, and precisely spaced bosses align with the compressor, pump, and block provisions to deliver a true bolt on installation. This accuracy not only slashes installation time but also preserves correct bearing loads on accessory shafts, preventing misalignment issues that lead to premature wear. With the bracket in place, swapping an LT engine becomes a straightforward task that yields reliable accessory operation from day one.
Built to maintain consistent belt alignment and reliable accessory operation throughout your LT swap.
