Just looked at the '02 catalog and it lists the PS Cooler as std. Where is it?

SD

 

Looking at a pump off of an LT1 car and an LS1 car (not side by side, from memory), it appears the pump is identical. Each mounts to a different bracket and obviously, the reservoir attaches differently, but the pump itself appears to be the same.

I would imagine some creative plumbing would make it work just fine.

 

The LS1 pump may very well work, but it might be a winter project if I have time. I think I've made the decision my season's over, so let the teardown begin. Since Garrett's started crawling and is close to walking now my car prep time has lessened a LOT. The car will still be there every day, but right now I have more fun with Garrett. Maybe when he gets a little older he can have a little creeper and he can help me out.

 

Mike, kiddos take precedent over almost everything. The time you spend NOW will pay big dividends later.

I had kids in my EARLY 20s and basically put everything on hold till I was close to 40.

It sounds like a sacrifice, and I guess it is in a way. But I wouldn't trade a second of it ...

If you want a trashed LS1 pump to use as a mock up, I have one.

 

I should tell you I had a perma-cool tranny cooler like the one pictured (it has spiraled metal inside of the cooler tubes.) I eventually developed metal in the PS reservoir which ceased after I bypassed the cooler. I just won an ebay auction for the factory LS1 ps cooler for $32.

 

I run a small Perma-Cool on the air dam, using the existing bolts. It works well. The part # is on my website.

I also just added an underdrive crank pulley, which will help a lot too.
