LS drive by wire throttle body upgrade, anyone know anything?

I believe you guys, I just read that install thread and figured, screw that. Obviously that information was misleading at best.

Also, I can't use the truck accessories because the alternator was as tall as the intake.

Pretty sure they won't let me return it at this point.

Just use a Camaro alternator

THIS! And yes it is a PITA. Also factor in the PS pump location if running one. Yes, you will also need to buy a Camaro Alt to match the low mount.

I used ICT Billet relocation kit. There are plenty of other solutions as well, see which fits your needs.

Dont forget a water pump as well. Choose your poison here as well as different options exist.

Put an LS in a Volvo and make wicked skids... It will be easy they said... Yeah, maybe not so much.

LS6 intake - clears the fat aluminum strut bar with plenty of room.
Corvette accessories - tucked down nice and low - didn't touch the hood. And shorter around the front end of the engine.

I basically had a bare front end of an engine to work with though. The main pulley was chipped, the truck water pump had a bent pulley, and the accessories were gone. And the tensioner felt 'dry'. So the only usable part I didn't use was the truck bracketry on the driver's side.

If you *really* want to spend money, Holley has a neat waterpump that has all the accessory brackets built into it. I think that's about as snug of a layout as you'll find.

I used ict's stuff. got the f-body location brackets with truck spacing (not 100% sure why really, probably the crank pulley and a/c compressor stuff). running a 2010 vvt camaro water pump (puts the outlet on the driver's side and has correct spacing for serp belt).
 
I used Dirty Dingo alternator relocation bracket. Swapped the alternator to high and p.s. to low position and kept all the stock truck accessories.
