LS3 camaro accessory offset ?
LS3 camaro accessory offset ? I've done some searches here and on google and find conflicting answers.. Are the 5th gen Camaro accessory offsets the same as corvette? The water pump has the same low profile pulley, just wanted to verify offset. Like to get that driver side upper hose provision!!
I've found a couple places that say LS3 Camaro and LS7 vette are common pumps. But is the dry sump LS7 the same offset as wet sump vette???
The overall system architecture is otherwise common with 4th gen Camaro, so that's my concern.
Thanks for any insight,
TJ

They look the same but are spaced away from the block. They are the same as the truck IIRC…. 1.5" A LY6 or any VVT truck motor balancer and L99 water pump work together.
The corvette WP is real close to the block. I am running a LY6 engine with 06 Vette WP GMPP vette FEAD and MAST motorsports spacer kit to spacer the WP and alt bracket out to match the stock balancer. I could ditch the vette WP and Mast spacers if I buy a Camaro5 WP. I hope I didn't confuse you more. LOL.
If you just want to drivers side outlet, get a LS3 vette WP IIRC

The LS3 and LS7 Corvette water pump outlet switched to the drivers side in 2009. So just look for a 2009 or newer on ebay. I've bought crate motor take offs for $100 each.
The key area to look at on your Camaro engine picture is the dish in the balancer. You can tell that it's spacing is farther out by how deep the dish is.
The 2014 GMPP catalog also mentions the different offsets on page 251.
