Default Do all replacement waterpumps use the later LS2 style thermostat housing?

I bought a new waterpump from a local autoparts store to go the GM crate motor LS1 I am putting in my 67 Firebird and I need a thermostat housing but I am unsure of which one to get. Do all of the replacement waterpumps use the later style thermostat housings with the seperate thermostat or how can I tell for sure which one I need. Thanks

i bought a brand new gm h2o pump about 2 yrs ago and it was a LS2 style i had to get a new 160 therm to fit. my hypertech ls1 stat didnt work anymore. i barked at gm and all they said was mail it back if you dont want it. im not sure what the auto parts stores carry. good luck!

Sounds like it could go either way--how can I tell the difference to make sure I order the right one? Thanks
