It would be a very worthwhile endeavor to get a smaller crankshaft pulley
or a larger waterpump pulley. We probably need about 60-70 percent of the
pump speed we have now. It would require some testing and some engineering,
but it seems like a worth project. Ken--have you ever considered doing
something to fiddle with the pulley ratios?
By the way, Ken, did you ever get more of those aluminum pump castings in
stock? I'd like to get one.

I had a water pump pulley made using a crank pulley and the water pump
pulley
hub. The machinist told me that he couldn't weld anything because of
the
casting. He connected the two using several bolts. I never did get
around to
trying it out, since I am now installing the narrow belt harmonic
damper.

My harmonic damper crankshaft pulley is slightly smaller.

How did you get your cross flow radiator? Did you have a radiator shop
replace the existing core using the rest of the radiator, so that you
would have
the same mountings and the goose neck coming out from under the front
clip?
