Well! That took a lot longer than I thought LOL! Just got finished with all four versions of the CVR water pump adapters tonight, finally
Here are a bunch of photos; I think they look pretty good.
Here is the pair of the adapters that have all the mounting holes that a stock FE water pump has. So, you can bolt on the factory power steering pump brackets and factory alternator brackets to this pair of adapters. The triangular alternator mounting bracket has to be notched for clearance to the CVR pump, as shown earlier in this thread. Also the top inboard mounting hole on that side, that the factory slotted arm bolts to, has been moved just slightly to clear that CVR pump bolt that is nearby. It doesn't affect the alternator mount though; the fifth photo shows the whole assembly on the engine, and everything fits just fine:
So, what if you don't want to run the factory power steering pump, just the alternator bracket? Then you can use the plain water pump mount on the left side, and the alternator mount on the right side. Here's some photos of that combination. The third photo down shows the water pump mounts on their side so you can see the O-ring installed in the base. This is a 0.140" thick Viton O-ring that will handle up to 400 degrees, so there should be no reliability issues provided the block surface that it faces is not pitted or anything.
Finally if you don't want to mess with any of the factory brackets at all, you can just use plain adapters on both sides:
The right side adapter that mounts the alternator bracket took the longest to make, because I was messing around with different configurations to try to make it strong, and at the same time make it suitable for use with a dual pass radiator with its outlet on the right side of the engine. I was able to make this work, as shown in the photo below, but if you are going to go this route you need to get the long water pump inlet tube from CVR, not the medium or short tube. On the other hand, if you are going with the standard left side water pump inlet, the short inlet tube from CVR is what you want, unless you've modified your timing cover like afret did, to cut off the fuel pump mounting boss. Here are some pictures of both inlet options:
Unfortunately I ran out of time this weekend to pop my 428CJ on the dyno, so I have not yet tested these adapters. That will be next weekend's project. Hopefully now that the CNC programs are finished I can start cranking a few of these things out for those who may want them. Once I get a pair of the adapters on the dyno and confirm that there aren't any leaks or other unforeseen problems, I'll put them up for sale in the vendor classifieds.
One thing about this is that I still need to do a couple more of these things, for the SOHC! I really want to run one of these pumps on my big cammer in my Shelby clone, just to see how it will do. But I think I will wait on that a little at this point; I'm pretty pooped out on the CNC programming thing for now. Besides, I have another really cool new parts project I'm working on that you guys are going to get a huge kick out of; I'll post some details about that in a month or so, when I have the first parts finished up
