Datman1947 if you also wish to keep the info to yourself as whole lot of Effexor went into this and you need a break from thinking about I can totally understand that as well.

Either way great job and at we've enjoyed the looking at the work.

pic below shows the waterpump off a bmw mini cooper r50, I know its a bit big and there are smaller ones available but yet to find one except off Marine applications and some go carts.

Also been thinking of adapting a belt drive water pump base to a dual shaft alternator that usually have an air pump at the back on Hilux and Hiace vans. There are plenty of belt driven and camshaft mount-able water pumps to choose from for this application. Just trying to kill 2 bird with one...as not all peeps like e-pump some prefer mechanical for longevity & less wiring.

For electric the jabsco puppy pumps look better made with permanent magnet motor for bilge applications

We have four fellas so far

Im thinking a brazed pipe where the first welsch plug is for the block as pictured and using the original RWD water/thermostat will be easier.
Using the Mini cooper R50 water pump looks like a perfect fit for the side of the block where the red block pipe out of the welsch plug plugged to short alloy inlet of Mini mechanical pump.

A mini part helping an A series who would have thought :)))

Below is a mazda 626 dizzie that could probably be used with its angled cap.

edit: added 3rd and 4th logical men, I see it this way, we can spend a fortune on an average oval port or invest in putting on head that has more potential and parts once fitted available off the shelf than any A series ever has.
Just perving at Kia engine bays today saw some other interesting options with ignition ecu, rocker covers and inlet manifold

just in case someone has missed it these are avail for the head
You wanna go quads I hear and for the price of a weber manifold for the A series you can go billet manifold for this head! to take 4age 20v quad itbs

https://technotoytuning.com/mazda/na18 ... 4ag-throttles-18l-na-head
only 300usd for billet unit much cheaper than cast A series weber manifold

This is the thread I discussed some other options, look at the pics

There are like 3-4 rocker covers available all interchangeable for the B series and the Z series head also with very narrow valve angle design

I know i would be up to make a donation, for the inside info, already sourced some of the parts, but would love to get the details on the front parts, oh by the way looks great awesome job!!!

datman1947 how did you solve the front seal and do you have an account for a donation for the information? Ill be happy to put money into it as Im sure some other are also. When you have the numbers you want you can put the details which will make many of us happy.

eg.
I will suggest say 10 peeps put in $20 or $25 what do you think? would be right for Xmas time.

If someone else wants the info afterwards we can share the info as long as another donation is made first into your account.

What sort of power is this beast making? Looks wicked!

yes the flat tops the belt is a DAYCO 94616

datman1947 Id also pay to know the nitty gritty details, you do deserve $$$ for your efforts, Im up for it. After all we dont want to die never having done one :(
