I did a search and most of the photos of your remote water pump setups are old and GONE!

Does anyone have any good pics and details on their remote setup? I think my electric pump is bad and I am thinking a remote pump might work better for this SBC. I even read about one installed in the front close to the radiator, but the pic links were dead. GOOD IDEA!

Thanks in advance!!

I'm running a CSR. The nice thing about the CSR's is that the legs of the pump are removable from the body and they have a built in O-ring. I used thier SBC pump but turned the legs around backwards and built a mount to put it where the stock battery used to be. However, this was a giant PITA. I went through a couple hundred dollars worth of AN fittings before going with aeroquip push-locs. As a side note, JEGS brand black AN fittings will wash clean with coolant and all the color will be on you're hands. Just thought I would let you know. I don't have any pictures of the current plumbing. The only one I have is with the AN's and braided hose. Now it is push-locs and blue silicone house. (they were out of black and I was in a hurry.) You can see in the last pic the aluminum adapters I made for the block and pump that are tapped 3/4" pipe. You can buy waterpump spacers from summit and stuff so you could just buy them and tap the holes. Then for my heater, I drilled and tapped 1/2" pipe in the lower leg of the waterpump and ran a 90* fitting out to my heater core. that was a little tricky but not bad. Tightening those fittings down in that tiny space SUCKED though, so you might want to look at some alternatives before you decide on this. The supply connection is pretty straight forward. The pump is angled so the inlet tube in the waterpump is pointing straight at the pass. coolant pipe and parallel with the sheet metal behind the door. I just cut the coolant tub and turned it so it faced the pump and connected it with a short piece of hose. Really easy. There you have it. It was a headache but it works and have not had a problem with it. Along with archies 4 core radiator, it runs 180 - 190 all day.
