Pilot Bearing

[Erik W. Treves]

Do you all happen to know what pilot bearing I need for the G50 into the LS3?

I don’t but I bet Pelican Parts would know!

Thanks Henry.. I guess my question was more
.. do I need a porsche pilot bearing or is there
A special one for this type of application?

I get them through modern driveline. They have a ton of odd application pilot bearings. Measure the input the the back of the crank and give then the measurements.

Kennedy Engineering can provide you with one. As I recall that is where I sourced my LS6 to G50 pilot.

[Erik W. Treves]

ok so it's a specific bearing then....

Kennedy. Called them and had it delivered next day (same state). Super good service.

Kennedy makes TONS of adapter kits. Probably the source for the FFR adapters? They have what you need and you will not have to say anything other than "LS3 to G50" or "LS3 in a GTM".

[Erik W. Treves]

worked exactly like that - too easy! they were like "yup" got what you need... took all of 5 minutes...

I just talked with Kennedy over the weekend for an adapter system for another project. No repeat customer discount :( .
5 week lead time, they are having 4x orders with COVID, everyone working on their toys!

Well my engine is stuck in a snow drift in Chicago - but on the upside my pilot bearing will go out in the morning :)
