oddball waterpump outlet location
I installed an LSSimple accessory drive on my 6.0 swap, and in order to run their AC mount, it was suggested to install a 2012ish Camaro water pump which positions the outlet as shown in the photo. Anyone on here have this setup with a radiator inlet in the stock location (drivers side) and what hose set up did you go with. Thanks,

Re: oddball waterpump outlet location
Not a truck swap but on my 73 LS3 swap I used "stock" style aluminum radiator. I struggled to find upper hose that fit. I ended up using two hoses and a splice. The splice also had a NPT opening for the head vent line.
I got splice from "Jaguars that run". Lower hose I got from Oreillys by looking thru the selection in the back room. Pic of the 73 upper hose. |

Re: oddball waterpump outlet location
You can use the gates powergrip clamps (like heatshrink) instead of hose clamps to give it a cleaner look... ive got mine mocked up with hose clamps..but am using these once I get it all squared away..

Re: oddball waterpump outlet location
I came across this image, which shows what looks to be exactly what I'm wanting to do. Just got to find that hose.

Re: oddball waterpump outlet location
Looking at the ECM maybe a Gen1 LS? Maybe a 6.0 in a 3/4 ton pick up. Or maybe a Denali? Or 6.0 in Escalade?

Re: oddball waterpump outlet location
I believe that’s a Gates 24342 Premium Molded Coolant Hose. That’s what the square body guys use with the ls3 water pump. Idk if that’ll be a direct bolt on with th 67-72 though

Re: oddball waterpump outlet location
This is one I’ve come across. Won’t know if it will work until chassis is back together.

Re: oddball waterpump outlet location
gates has a hose catalog, pretty awesome. It has it organized by size, and then length.... photos of the hose will get you in ball park and then google the part number.
Almost looks like a hose that was almost perfect if not perfect, but maybe slightly to long, and they just clocked the hose to make an arc to avoid a splice.. pretty slick!
