Default LS2 thermostat on LS1...?

Will the LS2 thermostat and housing bolt up to the LS1 coolant pump on a LS1 engine...?

It depends on if you have the newer water pump or not.Do you have the origanal pump or a newer one.If you have the older style you cant use it.If you have a replacement pump,more than likely its the new style and you have to use the Gto one.

Here's a recent thread explaining it as well.

WhiteRhino,

I have the old style LS1 pump and a Hypertec 180 TS.

Ah, I see, the new style LS2 pump, LS2 thermostat and LS2 TS housing, together will fit my LS1.

Thanks, I appreciate your help, I searched but didn't see that thread.

Regards
Joe
