If you'd like to read information on the adaptor plate install you can find it at the bottom of this page:
http://good-times.webshots.com/album/550294207eijCcS?start=132 If you click on "full sized" up in the right-hand corner of the webshots page, there is an explaination of the correct balancer/waterpump combination that will be enlarged so you can read it. I've been running this setup for 2 years with NO overheating issues.....runs thermostat (180) temperature even with the A/C.
If you note on the adaptor plate, the water ports are reduced in size while the so-called "short pump" mounts into the block itself.
