Need New Water Pump
I need a new water pump for a LS2. Where can I Buy a new one for the best price?
Is the LS2 C6 water pump unique to Corvette or is the same water pump used on other vehicles without the Corvette price tag?
Does anyone have a new one for sale?
I see that removing it and reinstalling it is not that big of a job, but how do you purge the air out of the system when refilling it with coolant, and how much coolant do I need to buy?
Thanks in advance.

I have a used ls2 water pump (8000 mi) that I striped the bolt hole out on a 160° stat install. Just needs to be heli coiled and works perfect....$75 ($375 new)

What kind of mods to the engine do you have if any?? If none, it's not too bad of an install...Check ebay or if you have a friend who has a body shop or garage that gets discount, get it through GM...Get new belts and air conditioning belt with it as it is easier to get to with pump out...
I have supercharged LS2, so it wasn't that easy...I ended up going with heavy duty Evans pump with bigger impeller to move more water...I have seen 5-6 degrees cooler with Evans pump...Completely drained/flushed your around 4 gallons...If you just drain rad and pump, maybe 2...
Just fill and air will work its way out as you run car and refill...
Good luck....

Thanks for the reply. No mods at all, all stock original. I will remove and replace the water pump and get a couple gallons of coolant, the serpentine belt, and the AC belt as you recommend. Thanks.
Looking for a new water pump only, any suggestions where to buy it at the best price and any tips or tricks on the install is most appreciated.
Please let me know if anyone has a new one to sell. Thanks.

Better to be careful mentioning non supporting forum vendor in the future, although your intention is trying to be helpful.
All you need is one cry baby vendor to complain and forum police will jump into you.
