Best LS swap accessory drive kit
First, match the kit to your crank balancer spacing. The water pump and crank pulley must share the same belt plane. See our accessory drive spacing chart:
- -1 (Corvette spacing): most compact front-to-back. Best where engine bay length and front clearance are tight.
- -2 (1998–2002 Camaro spacing): accessories mount up high. Good where low-mounted accessories hit (frame rails, steering).
- -3 (Truck spacing): keeps the stock truck balancer. ICT says it suits applications needing steering gear and side-to-side clearance.

Budget route: reuse the donor's factory drive if it clears. F-body drives fit squarebody C10s, but the Vortec truck drive's low A/C compressor hits the frame rails in many swaps (Speedway). ICT lists exactly what each kit includes; read the parts list before ordering.
