Why would you want to do this? If will bolt on, but your pulleys won't line up.

Yes it will fit, but ls1nova71 is correct. Unless you are running LS1 accessories, your belt wont line up.

i am going to run a billet specialty chrome ls1 pully set up and the vendor said i have to have a ls1 balancer in order to bolt the accessories on including a ls1 water pump which they provide but i have to get an ls 1 balancer. so i will be converting the whole front end of the engine to ls including the intake manifold.

He's not giving you his opinion. He's telling you that truck accessories and car accessories are different and will not match up if you start swapping out parts. If you swap accessories, you have to swap ALL of them, not just one pulley

Exactly..

But since you misunderstood I suggest re-learning how to read the English language here and then start building an LS Engine.

To answer the original question yes it will fit no problem. I did the same thing with my swap because I liked the car alternator mounting locations and had to replace the water pump anyway and I'm not running any other accessories.
