Thank you for donating, I will remove the other post.

The water pump is in the front of the motor behind the fan

It is a couple hour job for a technician to do.

I recommend a napa duropro water pump. Check your email

Your correct,
As I read through the r&r procedure, I thought it was odd they made no reference to it :lol:
It is called a transverse motor, it is still on the front of the motor. The front of the motor points to the passenger side. I have a 3.0 as well with a longitudenal engine and visualizing mine as I posted. :Oops:
