Long Water Pump?

Best advice I obtained was to fit everything up to check clearances.
You should be able to get your hand between fire wall and distributor and long water pump (with fan) should be parallel & clear of stock radiator (approx. 1").
At least that's what I got with "59 and 350.

If you have the stock v8 shoud that moves the radiator back. If you run the radiator in the I6 position with a shroud you get about 5" clearance. You can buy just about any configuration of brackets for short or long water pumps, good news is the TF trucks have lots of room. I chose to make my own so I can show off the engine and not have it hidden behind the accessories and (in my opinion) too bulky aftermarket brackets.
