I have thought about the same thing with my small block as well. I thought about just having the fittings welded to the Meziere back plate, that would eliminate the need of a special timing cover and could be moved to other engines easier. I just haven't wanted to pony up the money for a new water pump.

Anyone modify the factory timing chain cover to eliminate the water pump? Instead of redoing the rad support, I thought about installing a 3 row rad in my early A and use a remote water pump with either -AN or barb type connectors. Fill in the cooling ports on the timing cover with the fittings and match the lines with the new rad. Simpler way? Something like this?

Why not just use the billet Moroso bolt in stock location Electricwater Pump. Puts out plenty of water, street or strip. Have used it on various A body’s for 20 years The fittings are clockable Brother runs one in his 66 Dart. Yet to see a fan/ radiator clearance issue using this pump. Lots of options to make it fit. https://www.jegs.com/i/Moroso/710/63565/10002/-1

If your running into an issue with the water pump being too long there are a couple of options, this is what some people do when swapping a 318/360 into an old dodge power wagon that was originally a flathead 6 cylinder. They either run the 61-68 cast iron water pump (the outlet is on the opposite side compared to the aluminum one) that is .700" shorter than the later 69 and newer aluminum pump, or they have the aluminum housing cut down and shorten the shaft to make them fit. http://www.uglytruckling.com/pw_v8_kit.htmlJust thought this might be another option.

I have a plate with a "Y" tube on it that has a -12 fitting on it. I can't remember who made it. It was with the Daytona when I bought it. There was also a remote pump that looked kinda like a Holley fuel pump.

I'm going to put a remote pump on my street rod due to it having alot of angle on the rad to make things fit but with that much angle the rad doent work at 100%.. if I put the remote pump on I can stand the rad up more to have it work much better.. the pump I am looking at was the last one shown.. puts out 40gph.. I can gain about 3" of room
