Delco water pump
Researching LT4 water pumps I ran on to something. A/C Delco markets two levels apparently. Anyone know what the difference is?
Professional series part # 88926213
Gen A/C delco part # 12527739
PS is much cheaper but comes in a very similar A/C Delco box.

I found the Waterpump at RockAuto.
ex-x-fire is correct. The Cast Impeller flows better and the Stamped Steel Impeller has Standard flow after further research.

I just sent back a Rockauto per say ACDelco water pump. The water pump was in an ACDELCO box but after comparing the actual water pump to the one I'm replacing (which is an original ACDELCO unit) I noticed there were no casting #'s on it and the bearings were not the same. I'm not sure what's going on but it's certainly not what I expected. I'll will be very upset if they don't reimburse me for the return shipping.
I'll post some pic's so you can draw your own conclusions.

IME "professional series" parts can be open box, blemished, need to be de-burred, or some other cosmetic shortcoming that would make it less appealing on a retail shelf but have nothing what so ever to do with functionality. YMMV
