Water pump inlet help please

Is anyone aware of adapters I can use to change the direction of the water pump inlet so I can get it to face the drivers side Upper Radiator hose connection? Or is there anyway to remove the inlet from the pump and put an F car one in?

Thanks

you may be able to use some 90* bends of exhaust tubing to make the change you need.

I assume you want to keep the truck accessory spacing.
The camaro L99 pump is set up for truck spacing and has a drivers side inlet.
Or instead of putting a f body inlet on a truck pump, yoou can put a truck pulley on an f body pump.

I did my own since they were not available at the time. Kind of a pain getting the f body pulley off, but the only tools needed are a 3 jaw puller and press.
