I guess I should ask if all the brackets that are made to mount the sanden pump on to a Big Block Mopar are the same or if some are a little lower than others? I haven't purchased them yet, but I have a 440 source aluminum water pump housing with a passenger side lower hose connection that I will be using. I saw pictures of the brackets that Classic Auto Air..sells and they use aluminum brackets and the back side uses a tiny block that bolts to the head and the back bolt on the pump bolts to it. The bouchillon brackets are steel (I think) and don't use the bolt hole on the engine head to mount, they have a back bracket that mounts to the water pump. Anyone know which bracket mounting system keeps the pump lower/closer to the block?

Gary,these are Buchillon brackets,doubt there is anything else that would sit closer,only about 1/2" between the compressor and water pump housing and still easy to access all mounting hardware.

What part number did you get? I have an aluminum water pump housing-(440source) copy of the 74-up Big block housing that has the passenger side lower hose conection.
There is a BPE4700
and a .....BPE4710

Jess, THat is exactly what I needed to see! Thank you very much!... I also copied the link to your previous post about doing this. My engine compartment is the same as your E-body, so all will be the same except my car is a factory A/C car so I won't have to do the extra work at the firewall and I have an original style condencer.

Doug, Excellent picture, very nicely done! Thank you!

Here's another view, not a rb exactly but shows the hose routing.

With the aircleaner on. This was a Bouchillon kit also.
