Secure Hose Connection
Designed to create a tight connection at the thermostat housing area to support reliable coolant flow and help reduce leak points.

Aluminum Construction
Built from aluminum to handle coolant system heat, pressure, and repeated service conditions.

Application-Specific Cooling Fitment
Designed for the listed engine family and sealing style, with fitment verified by the product dimensions and specifications.

What engines does this water neck fit?
This water neck fits GM Gen III/IV LS-based Small Block V8 engines from 4.8L through 6.2L, including LR4, LY2, LM7, L59, LM4, L33, LC9, LH6, LY5, LMG, LS1, LS6, LQ4, LQ9, LS2, LY6, L76, L96, LS3, L92, L99, and LSA applications.

Does this fit a Gen I small block or big block Chevy?
No — this water neck uses the LS-style thermostat housing bolt pattern and is not compatible with Gen I Small Block Chevy or Mark IV/Gen V/Gen VI Big Block Chevy thermostat housings.

Does this come with a gasket or thermostat?
No — the gasket and thermostat are sold separately. You'll need compatible components to complete the installation.

What's the difference between this and TSP's LS straight water neck?
This version swivels, allowing the outlet to be rotated for easier radiator-hose alignment. TSP's straight LS water neck has a fixed outlet. Both use the same 2.970" bolt spacing and LS engine fitment.

What's the bolt spacing on this water neck?
The two mounting holes are spaced 2.970" center-to-center, matching the specified LS thermostat housing bolt pattern.

Will this fit an LS engine swap into a non-GM vehicle?
Yes — vehicle make doesn't determine fitment. It can be used in an LS swap as long as the engine and cooling-system configuration use the compatible 2.970" thermostat housing bolt pattern.

Is this a good fit for a truck or SUV cooling system rebuild?
Yes — it's suitable for compatible LS-powered truck and SUV cooling-system applications, including Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Suburban, and Yukon models. Verify the engine and thermostat housing configuration before ordering.
