Wasn't Zeeker a completely separate company that fell on-hard-times and that sold-out their assets to Indy?

Basically its the same... it might be a tad shorter
but still built to Chrysler specs... Zeeker was one
of the better alum casting companies

Loren Zeedyke sold his parts business located in Hicksville, Ohio and started Zeeker chassis with Dave Morgan. He then came down with serious cancer, and moved his Zeeker operations to Canton Georgia. Soon after he partenered with Dave Mosley and changed the name to Atlanta Performance Engineering, "APE" before he passed and Mosley took over. I have only seen one other Zeeker water pump and that was at the Moparts Nationals swap meet several years ago.

The Zeeker pump housing was cast to Mopar specs,a lot were machined for motor plates(aprox. 1/4").At one time there were a snub nosed water pump that was available through American Auto Parts.

I have the heads off Loren Zeedyke's Volare that run 8.0s at 160, so that water pump would look great bolted on my Hemi with them wouldn't it!

You see those dreamers all the time at the swapmeets. They're the guys with the same stuff show after show and always whining that nobody buys anything.

For NZ383man ....
Well, HEMIFRED and I both have one of these WP Housings stashed away. I ran that housing back it the 80's ... it worked fine. I've moved to electric water pumps mostly or newer Mopar Performance housings on street motor builds. I saved the ZEEKER housing in case I ever build a 80's type street motor. But you're right, if you have the ZEEKER Hemi heads, the ZEEKER water pump housing belongs on that same motor. If you can't work something out with HEMIFRED, I'll sell you my housing for a reasonable used price but you have to pay the freight to get it shipped all the way to New Zealand from Pittsburgh Pa USA!
