Its a water pump thing - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So I know you guys told to give up on the Edelbrock water pump and just go with the OE pump but I didn't listen.
I just really dont like the looks of that OE pulley.
Trying to find something nicer and made of better material.
However,
I'm on my 2nd Edelbrock pump and it still not the right fit.
The first one they sent me was totally wrong. Took them forever to get it to me too.
They said oh yeah it takes this other one. They're back ordered.
So I waited. And waited. And finally got it yesterday.
It's closer, but still not right. Looks like this one fits an LSA 6.2L, and I'm a LS3 6.2L.
I'm assuming they just dont make one for a 2010 Camaro LS3.
Whats more I can't seem to find ANYONE that manufactures a quality nice looking water pump for my application.
Whats up with that? I can't be the only one who hates that ugly looking OE pulley???
Doesn't anyone manufacture a quality looking water pump for a 2010 Camaro?
I'll pay good money for one, Its not like I'm complaining about the price. I just want something that looks nice.

No one worried how the water pump pulley looks, this is a 1st for me. You probably can call summit racing and buy a electric water pump. Or get a 10 rib pulley for ur stock pump

I've thought about that. It might work. Just have to figure out how to adapt the tensioner.

i'll have to take some pics and show you guys what I'm talking about.
The new pump I got from Edelbrock is P/N 8894.
I think if I had a wider main pullley that would fit the Edelbrock bolt off sets and added spacers to the tensioner base, and get an upper hose from a 2012 ZL1 it would work.
Maybe

Lingenfelters makes a pump that is basically the stock GM pump with a 10 rib pulley. The pulley definitely looks nicer than the stock one.
When it says 10 rib, does that mean its grooved for a 10 rib belt, or is it smooth to ride on the back side of the belt just wider than stock?
If its smooth i think it would work.

Smooth but wide enough for a ten rib. Hell mines wide enough for the ten rib belt plus another half for that 10 rib
