Default LQ4 water pump swap question

I have the 2000 LQ4 6.0 truck engine with truck accy brackets. Not running AC right now. So just the PS and Alt. I am also running the truck intake since it fits under my S10 hood just fine.

I have researched this and found several options and ways to do this. I need the water pump to have the outlet facing the radiator. So the car pump, not the truck pump. I don't want to buy a bunch of stuff to make it work like brackets, tensioner relocate brackets ect. Is there a pump that will work and just maybe have to use the spacers? I am hoping to just find a pump and be done with it. I was looking at an Ls1 pump from a 2000 Camaro, just not sure on the depth of the pump.

Heck I might even just cut the outlet tube on my pump and try to turn it forward.

Thanks for the info.

Lots of options:
LS3/L99 Camaro 10+ pump
LS1 Camaro 98-02 pump with 3/4" spacers
and a few others....including the L92 07+ truck pump with side angled port
search here and over on the conversions forum

OK, looked at the pumps, and it looks like I will go with my original plan. The LS1 pump with the spacers.

Thanks for the help, I was curious what other options were out there.
