Dumb Q: Remote Water Pump....Lets see yours

What is the best setup for a BB mopar? And which side does the pump go on, the outlet or the inlet side.

I run a Shogun remote water pump. Mounted on front frame rail. Pumps the water from radiator to engine, inlet side. It pumps the cooler water, from the radiator. BECOOL radiator, shroud and fan and recovery tank.

On a 90* to 100* day, my car will see a high temperature of 165* to 170*, when I get back to my pit after a run.

I do not have the pump yet but this is what I have set up already. First I bought AndyF water manifolds, [ AR Engineering ] they bolt on where the stock water pump was on the front of AndyF front motor plate. I purchased an aluminum radiator and removed the upper return outlet and welded on 2 12an male fitting, the AndyF water manifolds are also 12an . Next is to purchase a Meziere dual outlet remote pump, not cheep. As my radiator has a 1 3/4" bottom outlet an adapter will be needed for the pump. My plan is to connect the pump with braided hose to the bottom of the water manifolds. The top outlets of the manifolds will be plumed to the top fitting of the radiator. This is my plan but it could also be plumbed the opposite for reverse cooling by just changing the hoses around on the manifolds. Meziere also makes a remote pump that mounts on the radiator, that eliminates the hose from the radiator to the pump, my application didn't have room for that type.

no pics but i run a stewart, it goes inline on the lower radiator hose

I ran the ShoGun on my RB in my old Mirada.... loved that set up. Wish I would have gone that route (similar) on my small block Duster. Sure frees up a ton of room on the front of the engine.

Mine is pretty similar to what Forest has

My stuff..........

Dartsport, what are the dimensions of your radiator....was it custom made?

Thank you

Radiator was Custom built by BeCools fabricator, he was out of Canada. Becool had me contact him directly back in 2oo4 or 2005. My car is a Alston chassis, 2" x 3" box frame. All the radiators that I looked at back then were to wide. So I had a radiator custom built, with shroud, fan and over flow or expansion tank. It wasn't cheap, but it works!!

When I bought the car in 2003, it had a radiator out of a Dodge Omni, 4 cylinder. Temperature would hit 225* to 240* by the time I got onto return road, I had to shut car off and cool it down, before I could make it back to my pits.
I am going out to the shop, to measure radiator!!

Radiator measures: Width 23-1/4"
Height 16-1/2"
Tank thickness 3"

I too have an Alston frame with the same problems it appears you had.

I had an original scirocco radiator that ran too hot (I also had a shogun setup then too) I replaced that with a twin-tube all alum. scirocco aftermarket one and that helped a little, but it's still too hard to keep cool.
I'm thinking more core rows are about my only practical option.....I've gone to a larger volume water pump and replaced that manifold with a setup similar to "forest's" pictures above. I did discover about a *20 temp difference L-R with the original shogun manifold.
