Does anyone know of a good source for wrecked Corvette C5(97-04) parts? I am installing a reworked LQ4 into my 65 Chevelle SS and need all the accessory drive parts(harmonic balancer/crank pulley,power steering brackets,alternator brackets,idler,tensioner etc)to clear my stock steering box.I can get new for around $400-450 wholesale from my local Chevy dealer(without power steering pump,AC parts and alternator),but would like to see if I can find used.Thanks in advance for any help.

Look through the sale list here, other than that I gave up and went new when I got it all for my sonoma.

Keep looking, you'll find them. I went to all the vette shops in town, on saturday mornings, when everyones a bit more relaxed & found them, lol. Lots of collision vettes out there for parts at these places. E-bay has them now & again as well. Good luck with your project.

Thanks guys for the input.I think I'll Google "Used Corvette Parts" and start making phone calls.

You can also look on the corvette forums. Sometimes you can get good deals on lightly used alternators and such. The Vette alternators are kind of expensive, even reman. The brackets are all pretty cheap from the dealer.

Spent a good part of the day today on the phone with Corvette salvage yards and had no luck.I did learn that Professional Products is making a harmonic balancer for the C5 Corvettes,$77 my cost, under part #PP80033.Looks like I will be using this balancer,rebuilt power steering pump and alternator and all new bracket$$ from my GM dealer.Thanks for the input.

I would use a stock balancer vs the Professional Product any day! You can get a remanufactured stock balancer for less than $90.

You need to check prices on gmpartsdirect.com first. They will be a lot cheaper then the dealer. Thats were I got all of mine.

Thanks for the input on the Professional Products balancer.I will look new/used OE.

Now that you mention it, I did have problems a few years ago with a Professional Products Crosswind Intake manifold. I installed it on a small block Chevy with Vortec heads and the left rear water passage leaked coolant without even starting the engine.Not to mention the manifold hit the valve cover forcing me to double gasket the left valve cover.I returned it to EPW and got a Edelbrock Air Gap.Problems solved.



What does this mean?

I would keep checking the parts for sale forum on ls1tech. Then go to http://www.corvetteforum.com/ then to http://www.car-part.com/

I found everything a while back except the alternator/ps bracket and the alternator. I got the bracket at the dealer and the alternator at a local parts store.

Good luck.

Tried car-part.com yesterday.I got 1 Corvette salvage yard that had brackets,pump alternator.He was asking $150 for balancer,which I can buy new from GM for $131.His power steering pump was $125 I can buy a rebuilt pump for $85 and put a new pulley on for $17.

Corvetteforum does not have a search feature.So 5-6 pages in I realized all Corvette owners do is buy and sell wheels to one another.

I think I'll buy a balancer used off this site or off EBay,then buy all the brackets from my local GM dealer and add rebuilt water pump,ps pump and alternator.

Thanks for the help/input.

What else would would you expect to find on a site where the guys bought a car to compare their dick size. The gearheads are all right here.

As of yet the above kits are still not available. In gm catalogs they are listed as a future part. I ran into that last may when I tried ordering them to do my s10.
