Folks running zipw risers--is the finished water pump location the same as the long or short pump application? Sent from my SM-G950U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Well that was vague. Lol. I know it uses a 6 cyl pump and moves it up 5 inches. I think krylon got what i was after. How far does t he finished pump stick out. Comperable to standard short pump, standard long pump or something else entirely? Sent from my SM-G950U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I get the height. I'm trying to judge forward and aft placement of the engine. Have enough room for sbc with short water pump. Not for sbc with long water pump. Want to make sure zip will clear radiator before ordering Sent from my SM-G950U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I've done one on my 32 pickup and one on my new 5 window and used standard short pump pulleys on both. It does not stick further forward than a standard short pump in the stock location.
Thanks for the reconfirmation krylon. That's what i needed. Sent from my SM-G950U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Just to back up Gary's comment since he doesn't do pics, here's one where I changed out the cheesy aluminum pulleys for a stock set..........
Just be sure you get the water pump that they say to get. I'm thinking that there are a couple of different options on those things depending on original application.
Hey Uncle Bob, Do you know what water neck and upper hose that was used on the car? Trips and a zips leaves little room, especially With the oil fill tube.
Yeah, the water neck and carb are a real problem. If you look at the pic closely you'll see the carbs are on risers which gives the float bowl clearance (Offy 5759). The water neck is one of those "billet" rotating kind so a variety of hose shapes could work (I hate the ribbed donkey dick type). For the hose, upper Napa 7240. With all the variations of water neck GM made there might be a nice one that swings out side ways, though might make for a snakey hose routing, but I haven't taken the time to research that.
I got into that front Carb to thermo housing issue a while back also. I used The 3/8" thick carb gaskets for just a bit more space and one of these. Worked fine for my application. The Wizzard
That is a standard item to clear the Blower Drive on small blocks. Several Co's make them and prices very a lot from one to another. So does the Quality. The Wizzard
aluminum water pump with flow cooler disc AutoZone BWP-386-HDA, gates hose 20225 lower, 20046 upper, air bleeder dorman 902-112
Auto Zone has the aluminum pump under the listing of a heavy duty pump for AC equipped I-6cyl Chevys of the late 60s &up. You have to get someone on the store computer that knows how to look for it. The late Deuce Roadster informed me of it and I'm using one with good success. Do a search, maybe it's still listed in one of the old posts. The one I got I did have to spend a lot of time hand filing with a very coarse square file to get the as cast heater hose outlet down to correct size. You almost have to use that outlet for the bypass hose from there to the water outlet back between #6& #8 cylinders in the head unless you're running a heater, but then you'd still need it for the heater, I think.
... on the subject of water necks that will work with zips and triples see below. This one came from Summit: https://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/fss-84989/overview/
WACKDADDY ; That right there is a very good find! I have never seen that one before and now have one on the way. Thank You. The Wizzard
Thanks Uncle bob for the info before and there. (don't know how I missed that) And Thanks Gateman and Wackdaddy for your info also.
