I understand this is a 1974 and later big block housing. If I get an earlier water pump housing with the outlet on the driver side, so I can fit up the lower hose to a standard 26" radiator, will the pump internals swap out, or do I need to get a driver side outlet housing and pump together? Thanks!!

Not sure if that is correct but if so nothing that cant b solved EDIT & if you weld on an anti cavitation plate between vanes and pump body it'll make the impeller more efficient Last edited by RapidRobert; 04/25/11 12:56 AM. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
