Default Water pump, front accessory question...

I bought a 2005 GTO water pump today because I want to use the pump with the front discharge. My question is what drive accessories can I use on the motor. This is all going into my 93 mustang swap on a LQ4 LS.

Thanks in advance,

Dogman

Dogman,

Holley makes nice kits that work with a variety of balancer and water pump spacing. They have a great PDF that spells it all out:

GTO pump has the same offset as the Camaro/firebird stuff. Wont work with corvette or truck acc. Unless you buy a spacer kit to go behind it, then you can make it work with the truck acc. Check with Dirty Dingo for that kit

Hey thanks for the info. Ihave the gto pump on the way so I'll have to hit the aftermarket to get the front accessories brackets.

Thanks again.

As Stated the Holley bracket kit will work for any spacing. You just need the correct spacer kit for their brackets. Great stuff! Looks like factory corvette setup when installed.

You might look at this too, if you have a truck balancer and the water pump has the wide pulley. That way you can use the P/S pump and alt you already have.
