Default Might be helpful for those doing an LS6 intake swap
I saw this in another thread over on tech....might be another choice for water pump clearance for those doing the LS6 swap.

Here's the link to the thread

i ordered the new 2007 truck water pump with the angled outlet up on top cast in instead of that huge hose nipple the older ones have that gets in the way of the TB.

I don't think it'll work for the DBW types though.

Yeah, I think Speartech (John) posted about using an Escalade water pump from the L92. It will work for cable TB, but the ETC TB will still interferre.

the best solution is to not use a LS6 manifold. it's a useless mod on these trucks IMO. and an expensive one at that.

TB spacer is not thick enough to clear it. Unless you have one made that is like 3" thick.

Well I'm using truck accessories on my L92 Mustang swap and wanted to know how to keep the accessories and still use the LS3 manifold...
