What all is needed to install the pump?
Can you use the stock hoses?
Do you need a t-stat for track only car?

1) Pump is a direct bolt on with correct size hose nipples.
2) Stock hoses work fine with a stock radiator. No provisions for using heater hoses with this pump.
3) I had no cooling issues in a race only application with the optional 40 GPM 119 pump and no thermostat.

A dealer told me that the 319 pump would bolt right up.
But the 119, you will need different hoses, an inlet nipple and a inline t-stat housing.

Stock upper hose without P/S cooler is what I used. Fit perfect.
For the lower hose I used a stock C-4 Corvette hose. (I forgot about that. Sorry.) I should still have that hose. I'll check and let you know. That fit perfect also. I may still have the nipples laying around also.
As far as a thermostat, I didn't need one.
The correct inlet and outlet nipples I mentioned before.

If I find the lower hose, I'll send it to you or give you the exact year and application for it. Sorry for the misinformation on that hose.

The lower hose I used was a volvo hose if I remember right. I took 3 pieces, and a couple pieces of pipe, mocked it up and went to autozone, and went thru the hose rack until I found something that was as close as possible.

No problem on the info. Hell, I can barely yesterday!
No need to send hose, it would probably cost more to ship it than buying a new one. Do you have a part # for it.
If you got the nipples, I'd like to see a pic of them.
Thanks

I'll have the exact application of the hose for you tomorrow.
I can't find my old nipples but this link will show you all the different sizes Meziere makes.

You'll have to measure the I.D. of the hose you're using and order the nipple accordingly.

Thank you for your time.

No problem.
1988-1989 Corvette is the application for the lower hose I used.

Damn, to bad it's not a '99 Corvette, I could have stole the hose off the old ladys car. LOL.
Thanks again.

anybody got pics of said setup? I can't figure out if I wanna run the 319 pump or the 119 pump... I wont be doing much street driving especially in the summer but I hate to spend another 200 bucks on a pump that I dont have to have
