The BAD AST Project - Faze II

[astroracer]

Just to keep continuity in the thread I am reposting the water pump thing here as well.



Like the title says the water pump has zero outlets for plumbing the heater or by-pass hoses...


The pump was on the motor when I picked it up, figured to re-use but that's not possible with no heater attachmants available. I will need the suction side for the heater and the by-pass hose is a good thing right? Options with this pump? Drill and tap? Bite it and buy a new pump? I went with a new pump...

The is some trans work in this thread as well so it IS pertinent to the thread.

New pump came in from Summit. I went with cast iron so I have some work to do.



This one has some real nice heater and bypass hose fittings on it. Should work just fine

I have also been working out all the fittings I am going to need. I ordered almost 400 bucks worth of -4, -6, -10, & -12 Push-Lok hose and fittings yesterday as well. Pipe plugs, bolts for the trans pan, etc., etc. I knew this day was coming so I have the money. Kind of exciting to be at this point!

I also worked on the deep sump pan. Drilled and tapped for the temp sender.
This is the spot. I am putting it at the back of the pan and deep enough that it should never be uncovered.

Spot faced and pre drilled.

Ran a tap drill in for the 1/8th pipe tap.

All done!
