Stupid Water pump question!?
Stupid Water pump question!? Which port on the water pump is "in" and which is out? trying to hook up my hoses on my Ls1 swap, which hose goes to the top of the radiator and which goes to the bottom?
i am having a brain fart!

most older engines had the thermostat in the top, or to the radiator, the LS uses the bottom hose, or "in" to the motor for the thermostat-one thing i found was you gotta pour water into the top hose to fill the engine if running a t-stat, since the t-stat will be closed untill it heats up, water wont flow into the motor, so filling from the top will allow water to get behind the t-stat
this drove me nuts when i first fired mine up, lol
nice machine work on the housing

I can post the sketch and you can take it to a machinist. It's a pretty simple part. Just a lot of scrap when starting with a huge billet.
This is my first machining project ever. It turned out ok.
I took measurements of the thermostat and pump and drew up a sketch. Took it to work and milled it out of scrap piece of 4" billet. Then I cut the oval base on a band saw.
