454
I am putting a 454 in my 68 C10. Long or short water pump?

Re: 454
Short will look more correct. But if that dont matter run whatcha got as far as brackets and whatnot. Now you may have to scootch back a hole so everything clears what kinda fan are you planning?

Re: 454
That depends on how you position the engine and if you use the factory 396 mounts. But all factory 396-402s in 68-72 were short water pump installations.

Re: 454
Long mounts usually put the alternator on the passenger side. Would require rewiring. I'm building a 427 for my '69 and will be buying Hi-Perf passenger car deep groove pulleys for short pump for mine.
