Since they redesigned the water pump on the new trucks I thought I would see how the new pump would work out with the LS1/LS6 manifold swap as another choice in setting these things up as easily as possible. I've been seeing these water pumps on the 06-07 trucks.
Here's the manifold installed with the new water pump and the relocation bracket:
First I tried it with the cable throttle body. Perfect fit with plenty of clearance!
Then I substituted the ETC throttle body. Won't fit. It still hits on the water outlet.
It looks like it would work if you used one of those aftermarket throttle body spacers, and pick up an extra 10 HP or whatever they claim
Just thought I'd share the pics.
