--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seems I remember there are two styles of water pumps for the SB Ford. Each having a coolant intake (lower) from either the left or right side. Is that true?
I'm putting a 351W in a '57. The '57 lower radiator connection is on the left (Driver) side. Is there a pump for the SB Ford that has the coolant intake towards the driver side? If so what are the specs that I will be asked like year, model, color of interior, white walls, radio... you guys know the drill.
thx, r

I am also putting a 351W in my ranchero, you want to get a pump for a 70-78 302-351W I used a aluminum milodon brand #MIL-1631 standard volume or #MIL-16231 high volume the lower hose connection is on the drivers side.

I know you have already finished your water pump and have your 351W up and running. Thought I'd add my experience in. My 57 was originally a 6 cyl and the lower radiator connection was on the passenger side, so I used the Edlebrock Victor series water pump with a passenger side coolent intake. In many respects this is advantageous, should you want to add power steering, A/C, or a centrifugal supercharger in the future. It leaves a lot more space for various types of accessories & mounts.
I've included a couple of shots, I'll see if I can find a better one when I get home.
