I have been trying to see what new in doing this swap. Bits and pieces in posts... some of them quite old.. my old head is starting to hurt lol...

I have the 5.3 truck LM7 from a 2002 GMC and am putting it in my 65 Cutlass.
I have access to a complete LS6 Manifold with injectors, TB etc. The only thing that seems to come up for sure is that my truck water pump wont work. Is there another water pump that will work that doesn't require changing anything else in the way of accessory mounting?

Has someone documented a list of things that needs to be done recently with links? complete swap system from someone?

Thanks

Car intake, car water pump with spacers, pulley relocation bracket.

07 and newer truck water pump or 5th gen camaro water pump. Truck one being the cheaper

I will try the truck water pump! if that's it plus maybe some pulley relocation

I have a 6.0 with the ls6 intake. Used the stock truck alternator bracket (Had to cut a piece off to clear the throttle body), ls3 water pump with 1.5" spacer, and pulley relocation.

Camaro L99 (later LS3s are also the same) water pump has outlet on the driver's side, while the L92 truck (ex 2008 Cadillac Escalade 6.2L) has it on the passenger's side. You'll need the tensioner from whichever you choose, too, as the mounting points differ. I have a write-up near the end of my build.
