Quote: With the dist front cover, I guess you can run like a MSD 7 series ignition then? Does anyone make a notor plate for them or does one need to fab up one themselves? We are hanging up the small block motors we are running and putting together 2 of the 5.7 hemis for our bracket cars. We have 3 early engines sitting on stands in our shop.
NHRAmarks partner made my motor plate. here is his email
there is a problem that needs to be addressed and i could post pictures later. it involves useing a bbchevy water pump. on my water pump, the outlet is very close to the balancer. i am solving this by cutting 1/2inch out of the "legs" moving the whole water pump closer to the water plate. i may have pictures after this weekend of the mod.
another idea would be to do what member Steff did. he uses a remote pump and his motor plate is tapped for AN fittings.
ok, so i bought a cheap water pump off ebay for $110 free shipping. i bought this perticular one because you can put the inlet on either side. so when i bolted it up, the inlet was to close to the pulley, also i couldnt fit my rad with the HHR fan in there
