I have an ls-1 in my 51 truck and recently mounted the radiator, the water pump is letting out to the side and the the fender [inner) don't allow enough room to route the hose. Is there any options that have the outlet of the water pump forward?

What are you using for a radiator? Since it's a full custom application, you'll probably have to modify the inner fender to get things to work properly.

Anything in the link below help? There are several kinds of water pumps, spacers, etc.

Check out the LS2 pump pictured a few clicks down in that discussion.

Also, is your problem with the heater hose or bottom radiator hose?

Here is a discussion on threading the heater outlets and putting in brass connectors that are angled up and away from an inner fender:

I'd like to know how this turns out for you. I am just starting this change out.

custom radiator by PRC. fits in stock location.was hoping not to have to cut the fenders

R-Bo not the heater hoses the bottom radiator hose.I think i got enough room for the fans just the angle of the hose and the fitment.

Google ls1 water pump spacers-I don't know but I am wondering if that will help.
