What harmonic balancer for 6.0, LS1???? I got almost all my swap parts for the 6.0

The motor is a 6.0 09 model. I want to use all the F-Body accessories as its going into a 81 vette. So Can I use a F-Body balancer?? will this work??

Yes you can use an f-body harmonic balancer. I have a 2003 LQ4 6.0 LS engine and thats what I used. They are around $65 from the dealership brand new. I ordered mine for a 2002 Camaro LS1 and it worked perfect.

If you're using an F-Body FEAD (front-engine-accessory-drive), you will definitely need an F-Body balancer, as no others will line up correctly.

Remember to use a new bolt and torque correctly.

I'm using a ls1 balancer on my 5.3 swap in a Stang along with f body water pump/alternator bracket and it's perfect.

Like s10 said it's ur only choice cuz the rest stick out way too far

Hello Sir. In that Corvette you should use the front drive acc for a 97 and up Corvette. That way you want get any problems with the alternator and the AC. Maybe the Camaro setup will work, newer done that, uses only Corvette for the Corvette. But truck acc is for truck damper and vette is for vette and F is for F, they are not interchangeable. Or yes you can, but then you need spacers for the water pump and the rest of you're need machine work.
