5.3 LS6 Intake Swap, which tensioner?
Currently running a L33 5.3, LS6 Intake, 98-04 Corvette water pump, ICT Billet idler relocation. What tensioner are you guys using?
With the truck tensioner, it pushes the belt too far forward (towards the radiator). With the car style tensioner it’s too close (towards engine). Without the spacers everything lines up EXCEPT the water pump pulley. Seems there’s no middle ground, and I haven’t found a thread that addresses tensioners.
Anyone have experience with this and know the correct tensioner? Thanks!
