Water Pump interchangability question
Water Pump interchangability question I need to fit a water pump on my '00 LS1 with the thinnest water pump pulley possible. I'm not concerned with the other accessory drive pulleys lining up because the a/c, alternator and idler mounts will be fabricated to fit (I'm not running p/steering). This engine is in a 1932 Ford street rod and I need additional water pump to radiator cooling fan clearance.
I checked the dimensions of the water pump/pulley from a GM crate LS3 (GMPP #19201992) while at the Tampa Street Rod Nats last month, the flatter water pump pulley would help a lot, I only need a couple of inches. The LS1 and the LS3 water pumps appear to be very similar but I thought I would ask the experts. Will the LS3 water pump fit and work on the '00 LS1 engine or are there other alternatives for the LS1 pump?
Thanks,
Mike
