318 marine vs auto water pump
I have a 34 Plymouth Street Rod with a 74 Dodge 318 V8 in it. I don't have enough room between the current water pump and radiator to add a mechanical fan. Will a marine water pump work in it's place since it does not appear to have the long neck that the automotive one has? Really what I am asking is the marine water pump ok to run on an automotive engine.

Welcome Woody....... I say no..... Most boat water pumps are using the outside body of water to cycle threw the engine.. I am not 100% sure... But I dont think those would move enough water in a closed system....
Have you looked into this style pump?
