--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
