ls3 camaro accessories question I just started a project putting a ly6 in a 1955 chevy pickup. It has the flatout corvette conversion on the front axle. I am using the car ls3 intake. I started mocking up the engine position and am thinking about using the stock accessories and brackets off a 2010 camaro. Does anyone know where I can get a diagram of the measurements for the alternator and ps pump locations. I want to figure out if it would fit before I go and buy the parts.

I know about the three types of accessory spacing. What I am looking for is a diagram that would show the front of the engine with the distance from the center of the balancer to the outside of the alternator and how far up it is. I am looking to find out if it would have interference problems with the frame and rack and pinion steering.
The accessory packages largely available through GMPP as kits had layout measurements published. 10-13 SS missed that boat, and the GMPP catalog AFAIK, but other models' dimensions are easily out there.
The good news is, an LS3 SS is an easy car lot find. Maybe the general layout of the standard offset CTS-V stuff might is worth a look?

Read up on the Holley PDF files for their set up. It mimics Vette, but their spacers allow any of the 3 offsets incl. truck. I do wonder if their spacer works w Vette DS bracket.

. I have a LY6, swapped cam to the 2010 Camaro VVT Cam trying to get better performance than the factory LY6 cam. VVT is a pain in the a$$ for the tunner. Hindsight says to ditch VVT, increasing your choices of cams and ease of tunning. Also LY6 could use higher compression or boost. It makes for a great cruiser but not a powerhouse. Chat with your tunner before you keep VVT.
Good Luck with your swap.
