Your welcome Chrissi and thanks. I am real excited about the new water pump.
I can't wait to get it in a test set up and see how it compares
with the stock pump data Bill recorded. I think I can get it going at 8000
RPM :)

Paul,
Have you worked out the CL/CL locations of the injector runners to get around the  oil filler neck
as well as sufficient clearance for rubber couplers to the RB Wagner tubes?

The water pump is an exciting developement. Getting it and the alternator mounted in concert and
close proximity may require a single 4130 channel.. does that seem like a plan? Reduces the number
of fiddly bits to just bolt on a long channel then slip two long pivot bolts through. May even
have accomodation for tension arm attach points?
A few lightening holes or triangular openings may be in order.

Since we are on our own with the custom asymetric pipe bends, is there a quote we can reference
and a contact person. Might simplify the process if we were all asking for the same thing?

...Chrissi

Well I don't know about rubber couplers. You might have to weld the pipes.

Problem is the tuned lenght is a bit long for a 2.85 to one gear box I suspect.

"a single 4130 channel.. does that seem like a plan?" 

Yes. I am way ahead of you :)

You might have to do away with the crank angle sensor and use an e-shaft
ignition pick up  if you want to run the water pump. Post 93 engines have
the e-shaft pickup anyway.
