Default L98 accessories on LS3?

I am looking for the Vette accessory drive kit, 19257325, and a guy just offered me a front drive kit off a L98. That won’t bolt to an LS3 right?

The front of all LS engines is the same. Should bolt right on to the front of the LS3. Not sure which spacing it has, though, as it came on Holden (GTO here) cars.

L98 is a LT1 (read, early style LT1, not the late model DI engine) style engine. Are you referring to the L92 or L86 engine?

It's also a Gen IV LS engine that came in Holden Australian cars. GM used the L98 designation twice.

Sorry I didn’t realize they reused the RPO code already. It’s a L98 out of 1989 Vette. Not sure if it is concidered Gen 1 or 2

That being the case, no, Gen I accessories will not bolt to an LS3. Completely different animal, if you looked at both of them.

That’s what I thought but better to double check with those who know more than me. Thank you all
