2 things to note:
1 - If you are mounting a pulley in the unused hole above the alternator, ensure you drill it out before mounting to the correct size for your bolt PRIOR to mounting... (only applies to people with PSK setups)
2 - the 2 holes at the top, which the black bracket screw onto, may need to be tapped. Mine had non-threaded holes. You will also want to do this prior to mounting.
Other than that, it is a perfect match. It's also brand new and not a reman.

Strange thing is that PartsGeek has the NA pump listed as $107.25 which is six bucks more than their SRT pump.
The SRT pump has the oil cooler hole drilled out.
The NA price is about right for these pumps but the Cardone price for the SRT is at least $90 cheaper than elsewhere.
