So, my project is using a 4.8 and c5 vette front subframe and suspension.
I got the vette balancer as its the only way to clear the rack.
Next purchase is a water pump.
In sone of my searches, it shows that the camaro and vette pumps are the same. Others say no.

Since the camaro ones are way cheaper, will the pulley spacing work with the vette balancer? Rest of the accessories will be on custom fabricated brackets due to some interesting constraints in tbe engine bay.

Also, anyone able to beat a $53 shipped water pump?

The Vette balancer will work ONLY with Vette accessory spacing, including ONLY Vette water pumps. This is because Vette accessory spacing is the closest to the block, followed by Gen IV Camaro, then Gen V Camaro/truck.

So the ones claiming both vette and f body ate wrong? Crap.
Back to hunting.

Sorry, yeah.

I bought a vette water pump to replace the f- body one that was on mine, and there's quite a big difference

So it will also work with every car LS from around 2006 ? As they all used that same inner belt position. LS2, LS3, etc....

Surely the Vette is not different than all the regular LS3 stuff ?

FBody ran 25mm or 1" further forward than the likes of Vette and LS3, and pretty sure most LS2's

The accessory setups can happen on ANY LS engine, Gen III or IV, except of course the front drive LS4.
To see what the spacings are, check out Holley's website in the accessory drive section.

All LS accessories will physically fit all standard LS blocks, but as mentioned there are essentially 3 different spacing configurations: Corvette, 4th gen F-body, 5th gen Camaro/truck. That means that you need a Corvette water pump to work with the balancer.

I, for example, have an L99 Camaro water pump with my LQ4 brackets. I previously used an L92 pump out of a 2010 Escalade.

Buy the Holley mid Mount. Awesome piece with no guessing.

G Atsma

It is a VERY clean setup!

The Holley setup starts at $1800. You can buy a whole bunch of guesses for that kind of coin.
