G8 Accessories

Hello All
I tried doing a search but was not able to find out how an accessory setup from a G8 would work in an third gen.
Can anyone shed some light?
Thanks

Re: G8 Accessories

Not sure anyone has tried a G8 setup. Be interesting to hear who chimes in.
One thing to look for is distance in front of the engine. I used a C5 accessory setup and the a/c compressor was an issue, because the Corvette setup is 3/4" closer to the motor than the commonly used F-car setup.

Re: G8 Accessories



Rough layout is similar to the Fbody accessories

Depth is an issue when mixing/matching as most VVT/DOD engines use truck spacing. If you're using all G8 stuff, then it will definitely fit. Mixed kit would require measuring
