Welcome to the Worldwide V8 Bikers Forum

I finished my water pump project yesterday. Had a few problems along the way, but it turned out well and works as it should. Check it out at, http://jkcallin.blogspot.com/

I've been following your build, pretty sweet,, and to be able to do it your self is real cool.

Interresting! I wish i could be as talented and patient like You!

great idea

Congrats on the water pump. I'm really impressed to see how you make the housings at home. Reminds me to a DVD which Jack Phillips gave me when I was at his home "The world's fastest Indian" - when Anthony Hopkins casted his own pistons in the garden. I think it's really cool what you are doing, Carl. I love it and wish I could do it myself.

Thanks all.
I ain't that bright.

Hey Carl:

I don't have the talent or brains to do what you did....

But I put a Mezier Sprint Car water pump - belt driven
on my old big block. I was happy with it.

Yeah, I looked at those. The price scared the Po'Boy off. My CLF Labs unit ain't as purdy and it ain't CNC billet 'luminum, but is was cheeep

I'm curious as to why BH decided on an electric water pump over a belt drive unit....

I tell all my machinist buddies and oil patch techs up here about your home cast water pump that looks pretty much off the shelf... they are grinnin' thinking you should be here in the R & D departments of most of the oil companys. Most million dollar ideas come from here, and are people who 'tinker' like you do.
