Remote Water Pump for Small Block questions

rmchrgr said

What car? Is this for a turbo or supercharger application? If not, then it's probably not worth the effort or expense. As an in between option, you could get an electric water pump which eliminates the pulley and belt.

But to answer your question - perhaps the image below would give you an idea? This is a small block engine plate that AR Engineering sells. Far as I know, he does not specifically sell the water pump adapters but maybe you could ask him (AndyF) about them. If you are trying to use the stock timing cover with fittings like shown below, you'll obviously have to get creative.

That is actually more of what i need than i even realized. I intend on running a motor plate and the ones i've seen have a cutout for the stock water pump. This one would just require a stock pump gasket and the fittings. I will try to get ahold of them to source those fittings. Although the pic of the bare plate shows that i could possibly just put the fittings right on those holes in between the bolts. Thanks!

Question- does anything need to be done to ensure the flow is even into the 2 banks of the engine? A divider wall epoxied/welded down the center of the timing cover? Or will it just work itself out based on pressure? (related: can you run the output of the electric remote pump into a Y block and have it split close enough to 50/50?)
