4.3 V6 water pumps
I am working on a 2005 Chev. 4.3 V6 to go into a street rod.
As the 4.3 is basically a 350 V8 less two cylinders, will a water pump for the V8 fit the V6? Am I correct in assuming that this application would require a "long" water pump? If memory serves me correctly, the short water pump was used on passenger cars through 1968 and trucks through 1972.

Yup, the pumps interchange. I'm 99% sure it would be a long pump. They used to keep short pumps around in some applications, but I think that died in the 70s. Everything (except vettes) should be a long pump.
