This is a bad picture of the new passage but you can see it
anyway. The new 1/8 inch thick partition is laying in the bottom of the
passage blocking off the old bypass passage. The welder was able
to weld two thirds of it in place so the JB weld only had
to seal a small portion near the bottom. I spent a lot of
time getting it to fit just right so even if the JB weld fails
not much water will be bypassed. 

It is now more or less a straight shot down to the output port 
in the block with a right angle just before it goes into 
or comes out of the block.

The area of the passage is now about the same as a 1.25 ID tube which 
is what I am using for the output hose.

The height of the pump is now no higher than the pump bolt boss on the 
front cast iron end housing.

I am real confident this is going to work great.
