No Vettes use a long water pump regardless of the engine.....if you use the long pump its wrong.....

Thanks for the reply, advance auto listed the long, and I thought that was wrong. Thanks!

Corvettes also have the larger 3/4" diameter shaft.

That's part of it. The whole story is the '71-'82 smallblock Corvette pump is unique. Beyond the larger pump shaft, it is also 3/8" longer than the short pump. This means the existing accessory drives will not line up if you try to use a standard Chevy short pump and the fan clutch flange will not pilot on the hub.

Yes, a unique issue for our beloved mechanical SBC water pumps in those year cars. Don't be led astray.
