Since I have received very few preferences on what type of
water pump connections I have decided to provide un welded
on machined hose connections. 1-1/2 and 1-3/4 inch outlet and inlet
respectively.
You can tig weld these on or fab your own inlets and outlets.
You can use Butch's wiggins couplings (shown) if you were lucky
enough to get in on that buy.

Does this sound OK for everybody?

That works for me.

BTW speaking of water pumps here is a picture of a McMaster Carr 2 inch
$7 pressure gages. Drill a few holes here and there and tap them out to
1/4 NPT. No excuse for you guys flying not to measure the  pressure
going into the block and coming out of the block and going into
the pump. Static RPM (on the ground of course) would be a fine measuring point.
Once we have the data you can put in 1/4 NPT pipe plugs.
The spot on the pump next to the end housing is a good place to
put the block in and out pressure gages side by side. The water
pump intake neck is another good place. The pump casting is thick
enough to accommodate 1/4 NPT.

We need this data to make intelligent decisions on such things as 
restrictors and double pass rads.

BTW Mike please take some pictures of Perry's new oil cooler
outlet duct when you see him at Arlington.
