For plugs I would tell them that it is for whatever year truck the engine came out of. As for the water pump, you need to tell them that it's for a big block Corvette. The water pump that most likely came with the 454 truck engines was probably a long style water pump....you need a short style water pump. :cheers:

Plugs: A/C Delco R44XLS will be good for that motor.
