CTS-V vs fbody accessories
Does anyone know how the ctsv accessory drive compares to an fbody setup as far as width and height go? Finding someone who is willing to sell an fbody setup is next to impossible without buying the complete motor. I'm putting a 5.3 in an e36 BMW and I think the ctsv stuff will fit. You can get the kit from GMPP for less than $800 brand new. Not a bad deal in my mind. Pluss I already have a vette water pump that the kit requires. I just need to know if it will physically fit and the fbody is known to fit.
Thanks

Basically all the components are in the same location just closer to the block. It uses a Vette crank pulley so its tighter to the block. You can get the whole setup from GM for about $750 with all new components. The crank is about $80 and the water pump varies depending on aftermarket or GM.
