Re: Electric water pump otions, looking for opinions

Almost done. What's lighter, a water pump with the front cut off and plugged or 2 little plates with part of the front cover gone.

"does that mean the bulkhead cover in the cabin was reduced down so it doesn't protrude in as much between the seats?"

about 4" - 5" more clearance than the mech Ford short water pump, the firewall can be flat now, no bulge.

"also, was there a reason to mount the pump close to the engine rather than in front, close to the radiator?"

The plumbing was simpler with this model pump because it has 2 outlets which go directly to 2 engine inlets. Meziere makes a 1 inlet 1 outlet pump which you could put in front but it costs more.
