Okay...Well. I can't find the master list of all the components that came in the kit. So that REALLY sucks. I've been in cleaning mode for the last couple of days just trying to find some of my documentation. There's two different GM part numbers on the waterpump, but I have a feeling they're just for the case halves of the pump, not the entire unit.

In other news, I did final test fitting and measuring to verify that the new piston/ring combination will work for sure. Now it just needs to be honed for the 1.2mm rings and the rear main O-ring fixed. Depending on how the budget goes, I may have the block ready for piston installation (again) by the end of January.

You know that little voice that says it can't be done? I duct-taped mine's mouth shut and pushed it down a flight of stairs.

CRAP!!!! Another brick wall on this water pump! Can you send me a really good photo of it that I can take to my parts guy? He is already used to me coming to him with "off the wall" parts. If anyone can find it for me, he is, just need something for him to go by...I hope yours never goes out, I think you would play hell tryin' to find one!

It looks pretty much exactly like the stock pump as far as I can tell. I'll get it side-by-side with the stocker to look for any differences you could look for and get some pics. I'll also post up the #'s from the case halves.

In other news, I have my extra NOS Foggers listed in eBay.

Also still have my extra SD TBI intake for sale in the Mall...

Okay, I'm done shamelessly plugging my items.

A little more progress made today...The torque plate I picked up for $50 on eBay arrived today. I need to make a slight modification, and bore the through holes to 1/2" to fit the bigger SD head bolts. Might just do this on the mill at work if I find time. I also need to find hardware to fit the much shorter torque plate. I might post some pics of the plate tomorrow. What this all means is that reassembly of the short block is not far off...

Lata's!!!

So does the pump bolt to the front of the block, or does it have an adaptor to bolt into the boss in the side of the block?

The pump bolts to the side of the block exactly like the stock waterpump. It looks like the outside housing is exactly the same. I think the only change is likely a larger impeller or passages.

Here's the link to my Edelbrock SD-TBI manifold on eBay.

Decided to clear some parts out.

Pics of the torque plate AND water pump info today, I promise!

Here's my TB I purchased:





It's a 90mm Accufab TB for a Mustang. A chatter brought up the possibility that the large opening size of this throttle body could have a bad impact on air velocity when it transitions from the intake tube into the TB mouth. I guess I'll see!

you know a 2.5 id throttle body will give awsum throttle response and easily support 400 hp
in a turbo application right ?

Yes. I just wanted a clean looking throttle body and capability for alot more power down the road.

As promised except really, really late:
