Anyone know if a water pump off of a 2004 LS6 is compatible with a 2002 LS1?

I figured it was, so I bought one. Now I just wanted to confirm whether I was SOL after the purchase... DOH!

Not for sure but I think the vettes and the F-body's water pump are different. I guess the best way is to take off your air lid and compair the two side by side and see if their the same for sure.

Yeah that is what i was afraid of... I have not gotten the pump yet, but just got to thinking... Oh well I can always unload it on Ebay.

'04 pump on early engine

Hi,
From what I have seen, the thermostat is different but it will bolt on and the hoses are in the same place.
Good luck,
Steve

I warped my heads last spring, and had Norris Motorsports do the repair. They suggested a new water pump, which required the new style thermostat. No problems here.
