Are we allowed to run the truck accessories with a 5.3 GM truck motor, or do we still have to source all the LS1 camaro stuff? I'm not sure if they fit in a 4th gen, I think they fit nicely in a 3rd gen. More curious than anything else.

I actually have this same question.
They're pretty much a necessity for 4th gens but I believe the truck accessories work better for 3rd gens than the Camaro accessories.
Funny thing, I was just thinking of researching this to submit as an RCR. I know there are 3 different drives: f body, y body, and truck but I forget which is long, short, compatible, or otherwise. Some can be shimmed to match a long pulley too? If someone posts up I can do some legwork with it. Seems to be within the spirit of CMC as I'm stuck paying the going rate for an f body mount whereas I could have had the truck crap for free since nobody wants it. I suppose I could consult the y body in my garage for accessory locations, but that doesn't give me an idea of how well it packages in what other cars. Google probably knows.

If the part(s) don't give a "performance advantage" you wont be DQ'd at Nationals, despite what the rulebook says. I know from attending several Nationals in CMC and seeing what was allowed when the rulebook says they weren't.
Well it has been true for the 4 or 5 national championship CMC races I've attended since we've been racing 9 years. Which ones were you at, maybe we've met and I just don't remember?
Maybe this years championship event will be different. Hope to see you there.
EDIT: we'll be there with protest money...just in case
