Default Acc. Help

Hey Everyone.

In the thought of hood clearance, im hoping to get my 5.3L to f-body acc, intake and TB.

However, what im looking at now is conveting my Acc

What parts are transferrable between the truck and f-body acc wise?

Im thinking, if i get the balancer, the PS/Alt bracket, then change my waterpump pulley, can i re-use my idler wheels? Do i need a new waterpump?

All help greatly appreciated.

Sheldon

Your gonna need an F body water pump, the throttlebody will hit the upper radiator hose fitting on the 5.3 waterpump. Hope this helps.

The PS pump is different. The tensioner is also different. None of the accys interchange, you will need f-body brackets, alternator, PSpump, waterpump, tensioner, Balancer/crankpulley, and A/C compressor if your going to run it.

Nook & Tranny sells a complete Accessory kit on ebay for $799. They also have a Corvette kit for $695. I read the thread about the corvette accessories in a thirdgen, but no one really gave a definate answer?
