Oil pan and Vette accessories

My turbo setup is a little too close to the alt belt, so I'm switching to LS2 Vette accessories, namely the wp and crank pulley (only running alt and wp). Any specific wp and pulley you guys recommend?

As far as oil pan, where can I buy a complete setup with the windage tray, pan, pickup and dipstick for my 6.0? Don't care to hunt used stuff down.

Superchevyperformance for the oil pan setup for a 4th gen.

I run Corvette accessories. The Water pump is the exact same as a 4th gen.

I was under the impression that Corvette and 4th gen F-body have different water pump.

Since I'm going to be running an 05 Vette wp, buying a belt tensioner is expensive.. so I found this... looks like it will work?

4th gen Fbody, GTOs and C5's used the same WP with the massive bell pulley. Its wide enough for both belt paths. The tensioner is unique for each accessory offset though

LS2/3 C6 WP's have a much shorter bell that only works for corvette FEADs. Late in the production they switched from pass side upper port to drivers side and used LSA WPs. These are easy to sport with the drilled/tapped bolt holes that are unused near the tensioner

Tensioners are expensive, yes. If you think the main tensioner is expensive, check out that dinky little AC tensioner
