my problems a little differnt. Iwent with an electric pump but if you look you can see that the water pump outlet ( about 7 oclock )will point right into the blower belt.

They give me the basement and keep the upstairs for themselves. It is a good araingement.
So far, it looks like the waterpump outlet is going to be ok. The thermostat housing outlet, however, might be a little different story. I did purchase a thermostat housing relocation kit just incase this was an issue. We'll see if I need it.

I might still have a waterpump pulley, a billet one that is correctly spaced for the front take off of the accessory belts.
Forgive the old messy picture.
I have run it exactly like this since 1999

Panchop I like those headers. Are they for side exhaust?

Hey guys, the Weiand manifold looks like the thermostat is mounted in the same location as my Holley 420 Megablower. I don't have the part number of the housing that was supplied with mine, but I'll bet Summit has it. It will get you around the belts like so....
