Default Lq4 with ls1 accessories,please help!

I've got a lq4 block,with 04 Gto ls1 crank pulley,alternator and bracket..just bought a ls1 water pump off a member on here..when I bolt it up,the water pump pulley and tensioner sets back further then the rest of the pulleys..do I have to buy that water pump spacer kit?..because I thought the spacers kit was to run a ls1 water pump,with truck accessories?..I'm pretty confused.some please help me out on this!

Any chance you bought a corvette water pump? It sets back farther than the gto/f body.

Yep sounds like you have a Vette water pump and tensioner. I think the pump will be fine, you can pull the pulley out a little if you have to and you can get a f-body tensioner so it lines up.

Damn it, I think it was off a vette!..those spacers are like $80,do you think that would get the pump and tensioner out far enough?..I just don't want to mess the pump up,trying to get the pulley pulled forward.

Get the fbody tensioner and you should be good. At most might need to add washers to tensioner.

The spacers are $80, extra gasketrs $10. You can get a new F body pump off ebay for $100.
