Will this accessory kit work on LM4/L33? Hi,
Would a LS3 CTSV accessory kit (https://www.summitracing.com/parts/n...0821/overview/) kit work on any of the aluminium truck engines (LM4/L33)?
Essentially would I be able to mount it to the engine.
thanks!

In general, yes, but you will need to check the offset and make sure that it matches your crank pulley. You may need to change the crank pulley to get the correct amount of stick-out.
You noted LS3.. but CTS-Vs never came with those. (LS6, LS2, LSA, LT4..) CTS-Vs I believe had the shortest of the 3 normal balancer depths. The truck 5.3s would have the longest of the 3 balancers, so likely needs a new one to match. (LS3s would be either.. camaros are long, corvettes are short).

I thought there was a CTS-V LS3, new to the LS platform!
So if I get a turck 5.3 and replace the intake, balancer and accessories I should have a CTSV engine (in terms of fitment, obviously performance will be different).
Researching a swap into a Porsche 996, so many options!
Maybe buying a car engine is cheaper than trying to convert a truck engine to car engine. I am happy with 350whp

I don't need Power Steering, would it be easy to just remove that?
