So, why didn't we get the car running...

Well, you keep running into little problems like this. This is a Jegs water pump part number 50950 that we were going to use. When we opened up the box, we noticed the fittings were Jegs "specials." (That means they don't fit ANYTHING metric or otherwise!) Also, we needed 2 outlets and not one so we needed a "Y" connection. Thomas suggested we just make our own water pump housing...no big deal. I turned it over to Sandwich and a few hours later...

Here you can see the rear intake that we made to fit a 2 inch hose (the normal size of the inlet on the water pump of a 427 Cobra). The outlets are JIC dash 12 with one outlet to both sides of the original water pump.

Sorry for the blurry pics sometimes, but this shiny stuff is really hard to get the camera to focus on.

Here is a pic of the billet adapters we made to adapt the electric pump to the block. They are o-ringed on the back so they don't LEAK!
