hello all, my question is this. i need to change the direction of the outlet on my water pump to fit my radiator... ive looked online and they make water pumps for 351w that have the outlet in the direction that i need but is it as simple as that?? or am i gonna face issues with my timing chain water ports?

 

No, it's as simple as the inlet on the water pump and which side it's on.

 

as long as its not a reverse rotation pump

 

That's true, but using one could be as simple as installing an idler arm and getting different pulleys to run it correctly.

 

Ok awesome..if I'm not mistaken the 1970 351w water pump faces the direction I need which it exits towards the driver side
