I was wondering if anybody knows of a shorter water pump for a 383 than stock.
I have a 4 core radiator and I have a flex-a-lite back magic electric fan and shroud combo.I need about another 1/2" of clearance to make it work.
Thanks
 
I would guess the problem is the fan is in the middle of the rad and motor is close to water pump. should use a dual fan or move to the front as pusher if no a/c
 
Yeah I have used the radiator for awhile now so can't send it back.
But I can either have my original rebuilt or get a 3 core for $200
 
My fan is built into the shroud as one unit with a rubber seal that seals around the radiator for Max cooling.
It is a 3300 cfm puller.
 
If you manage to find a stubby pump or modify the one you have somehow, you will likely have pulley alignment issues thereafter. Whatever else that belt is riding on will have to be altered as well. Get a more compact fan assembly or ditch the 4 row radiator. Someone will probably buy it from you at some point, so you are likely to recoup the cost.
 
Electric fan firmament problem fixed.
I got a 3 core radiator for a 67 Dart big block and modified the Flex a lite fan and shroud combo.
Car now stays cool with no problems.
