no you would have to find accessories from a truck ls motor..5.3 lm7 lq4 6.0 etc..the only thing from the tbi you will be able to use is the a/c compressor. you would need the water pump, and power steering/alternator bracket. get on a few ls forums and look in the for sale section or ebay. There are different accessory brackets out there from the different vehicles these engines came in. corvette, gto, truck. camaro ss etc, try to find the brackets for a truck. keep in mind the front accessories you use will also depend on the intake you decide to use

Well I was planning on keeping stock ls1 intake for now. What truck accessories would u suggest such ex(5.3, 6.0)??? Actually if im using truck accessories then id have to use 6.0 or 5.3 intake right? If so wouldn't I lose compression? ??

well from what ive read you get more low end power with the truck intake. so more torque. there is a way to run the ls1 intake with truck accesoories but its a pain. better off going with the truck accessories with truck intake. 5.3 and 6.0 stuff should be the same.

Front accessory bracket for the 4.8, 5.3, and 6.0 are the same. If you use the ls1 intake go with the f-body accessory bracket so your intake piping clears the accessories/belt. Simple concept.
