In the latest issue of Hot Rod Mag, they have a complete list of the CTS-V accessory pieces and their part numbers. They are putting an LS7 into a Solstice and recommend the Cadillac accesories as the most compact. When I get home tonight I will get the part number and post it, unless someone else that has the magazine can do it sooner.
Edit: It's on their web page:

But I don't see a balancer listed, so one could assume they are using the standard LS7 balancer. Assumptions however, are dangerous as we know. (*** U Me) So use this info with appropriate caution.

The Hot ROd article is what prompted me to dig into this, but he balancer PN is missing. Hence my question here.
One can ASSume that they are using the LS7 balancer, but I would rather know for sure. That brings up the other question: Is the LS7 balancer the same as the C5 balancer?
I have a C5 accesory drive, and would love to mount my alternator down low like the CTS-v configuration.
