Is there an advantage to the short vs long water pumps and are they interchangeable. I just bought a crate engine and didn't realize that it came with a long water pump and all of my brackets are for the short pump. any ideas ?

Even then clearances can get pretty close. ahotrod33 [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Glen Mills, Pennsylvannia Charter Member since June 2003   Posted by TomDowd  -  05/11/2004 12:21 AM Thanks for the great advice everyone!
