Electric Water Pump Question ?
« on: December 10, 2014, 09:48:23 AM »
Does anyone know how much longer and electric water pump is than a stock Edelbrock pump.
Thinking about using one but not sure if I will have enough room to clear the electric fan/radiator.
Appreciate any info.

The CVR universal high volume pump plus my adapters is almost identical in length to a factory or Edelbrock pump; I think they measure within 1/8" of each other.  I imagine that most of the electric water pumps for FEs are about the same as that...

Wow I just compared the CVS-8000 to the Meziere. The CVS flows more GPM, draws less current and cost hundreds less. Win, win, win! Jay really has hit a homerun with his water pump adaptors.

right away i noticed the vacuum pump bracket bracket unrelated to this subject in this looby.  what else caught my eye was the mandrel also,  is that a gz mandrel  also?  reason being is that pretty much every vacuum pump company i talk to doesnt make one for the fe. the ones that i have found sit in the counterbore of the sfi dampers which on an fe they arent counterbored,  for instance a gm motor the damper bolt sits in a counterbore on these aftermarket dampers the fe bolt and thick washer sit flush theirs no counterbore.  so does that mandrel just bolt onto the 3 bolts on the front of the damper?

GZ makes the whole deal for the FE.....sweet setup. 

I can measure to see how far the mandrel sticks out, but for reference, that pulley behind the front pulley on the mandrel was for the water pump/alternator.  That will give you a sense of depth on it.

GZ makes the whole thing.....

The mandrel bolts straight to the crank snout and is also pinned so it can't spin.
