Hello all,
I have a 62 Impala SS with factory 6cyl engine. She's getting tired and I will be replacing it with a 402 BBC that's already rebuilt and ready to go in. I'm trying to figure out what water pump to use Short/Long since I need to make that decision to order brackets , wiring harness etc. I was leaning towards a short water pump since I'm not sure how the engine will sit in relation to the radiator. My thoughts were to use the short pump and if needed work with fan spacers to get the fan where it needs to be to the shroud etc. I'll be using Sanderson BB1 headers and a Turbo 350 trans so the swap should be pretty smooth... I hope Any thoughts from folks that have done this swap .
Thanks
