I'm not big in the brains department so I have a stupid question for you guys.
I have a 327 small block in my '66.The alternator bolts to the exhaust manifold that I want to replace with headers so I need to move it.The alternator mount kit I want is only compatable with a long water pump.Mine is short.I would like to chrome dress this engine so buying a chrome water pump is no problem.
Here is the stupid question.Can I simply put a long water pump on this motor with just pulley changes?I have lots of clearance to the radiator so maybe bringing the fan closer would be better for cooling.
Thanks,
Daryl
