Our ’67 Chevy C10 pickup
takes Vortech kit number
4GX218-154L, which includes
full instructions. With the
black powdercoat finish, it
cost $3,401.99, the same as
an optional polished finish. To
save about $250, go with the
satin finish.To ease assembly, Vortech
“ghosts” the sub-assemblies
together using flexible vinyl
sleeves to hold fasteners in
position. Obviously, they come
off during assembly, but it’s a
nice touch that helps prevent
confusion.
The Vortech supercharger
mount takes the place of the
stock belt tensioner. Stock,
low-mount-style factory
A/C equipment will fit if the
engine bay has adequate
room. On engines with the
factory optional “high-amp”
alternator, the vertical ridge
of the pulley will rub the
larger alternator case. The
Vortech kit thoughtfully
includes the problem-
solving, smooth-face pulley
if this situation arises.
The stock belt
tensioner is
removed and
will not be
reused.
