I wanted to know if there is a lower profile water pump for a 440? I’m having trouble fitting an electric puller fan on my new aluminum radiator because it is hitting the water pump pulley. I’m wondering if anyone knows how much less an electric pump would stick off of the engine. It needs to lose about 1” to fit. I can go with a lower profile fan but I want to replace the pump.

 

Mount the rad on the front side of the rad support

 

electric water pumps? one for each side. lets see tap the front of the heads?

 

What !!!!

 

Got it. spal medium profile fan and moroso pump just enough room

 

Fantastic, thanks for the update.

 

With this setup we went to a local car show and got to take the car around town on full drag slicks. ha ha. with the timing 32 advanced 499ci with 10.3:1 on 110vp fuel the car took a long time to get up to 175 and kind of stayed there. it was 75f out side and we are not running a thermostat just yet.

The specs that they give you on jegs from mounting surface to end of pump are spot on.

So in the end its so far so good now we just need to make a few passes with this set up to see if it all holds up to tires coming off the ground.
