LS3 with LSA parts

Hey people!

Anyone build their ls3 with an lsa crank, flywheel and harmonic balancer? What did you do to get all this to line up with the ac and other accessories belt wise?

Thanks!

to the op, if you are gonna tear into the bottom end in order to use a stock LSA crank, (and correct me if im wrong) would it not be best to simply re-internally balance the LSA crank with whatever rod/slug combo u are using?

The engines internally balanced the "balancer" is simple ;a weight that's a pulley not harmonic for anything but stock that's why guys like me spend $400 for a Fluidampr or ATI to get some balancing to help deaden harmful vibrations of a radical cam the stock balancer cant dream of being that its a dumb weight with a rubber between two steel rings as are the cheaper under drive pulleys out there...able to fall apart from the rings rubber " dampener" doing the work..as in SLP ones I heard of before falling apart like stock.

Make no mistake though they may have some resemblance to a oldschool SBC/BBC balancer they are not..... its internally balanced fairly well by GM.
