I am rebuilding the HB 350 out of my 69 Z-11 and I am doing some mild performance mods to the engine while maintaining a stock exterior appearance. Here is the question...is there anyone here who rebuilds water pumps?
I would like the rebuild to incorporate a hi flow impeller. Thanks! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] |

The original 300 HP engine in its stock configuration was pretty tired so I decided 45 years was enough and tore it down. Tired was an understatement. Original cast Nodular Iron crank was pretty much shot and not worth the machine work to repair. The stock pistons and rods were OK but the block needed to be bored .030. Valves/guides in the original heads were shot and to top it off the intake had a chunk of carbon in the underside tray the size of your fist that was cooking the Q-Jet. In other words the typical SB that has been cruised to death for better than 4 decades.
The question was to do a stock rebuild or a performance rebuild. Since I drive the car the answer was obvious. The engine will look 100% stock from all external appearances,- except at idle I think. 1969 HB 350 with TH-350 Tranny. Pistons 1969 Stock style with Valve reliefs-Keith Black Hypereutectic .030 Pistons. Eagle I beam Forged rods (Floated) Original 186 heads converted from 1.94 to 2.02 valves. 1182 LT-1 Steel crank L-79 cam and lifters Comp Cams Roller Rockers 21 inch radiator-- original Harrison tanks on a custom 4 core 21 inch middle Hughes 2000 Stall converter for the TH-350 and now the 692 water pump - with a Hi flow impeller. Thanks gents... Mr.Gould it is. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] Here is the Radiator modification...Just a tad bit wider. |
