What in the hell noise is this? Just got back the car from the transmission shop. I had it rebuilt. I don't suspect foul play. However, I just noticed the noise last night. Maybe there's a connection. I don't know.
What could this knock/rattle/whatever be?

Sounds like a flexplate to me. Is the motor running fine other than that noise, good oil pressure etc? Get the car on some ramps, most of the noise should come from the bell housing and back of the motor if its the flexplate..

How different is replacing the LS1 water pump than on the LT1? Is it easier?

Well, apparently, it's the water pump. That would explain the leaking coolant I saw last night. It did seem like the noise was coming from the front of the engine and the transmission guy noticed it, too, but I just wanted to make sure it wasn't transmission-related.

VERY easy. Just make sure you get new gaskets along with the pump. Part number 12559271.
