Correct Water Pump - 1970 L78?
 

Is the water pump casting number the same for 1970 L78 and LS6 motors?

What would be the correct water pump casting number for a January 1970 L78 Camaro?

Thanks in advance for your help, you guys have ALL the knowledge...

3931065 casting # for your L78 Sam, including LS6 Chevelles. Late L78's and LS6's also used 3969811.

Thanks Tony,
Was the 3969811 only used on 1971 models?

Re: Correct Water Pump - 1970 L78?
 

I believe 3969811 was used from late 1970-72.

The 69 SS396 Camaros also received the 3931065 water pump, which carried over to early built L78's.

By the way Sam, what is the build date of your car, and the assembly date of the L78? I will keep my eyes open for you.

Sam
The 1970 L-78 & LS-6 used the #811 Waterpump regardless of Car it was installed in,not the #065.
#065 was used for engines before the 1970 release,Maybe,Maybe Aug.-Sept. 69 built cars got them,at least from my findings.
Your not going to find an #065 dated Dec.69,they stopped making them around May 69??
I have an #811 here I took off an LS-6,dated L 69.
