318 Cooling Water Pump connection relocation

Post by cometphoton »

I have a 318 engine in a 1969 Dodge W200. The water pump is connected from the bottom of the radiator on the driver's side of the engine to the water pump. I need to mount a hydraulic pump on this side of the engine and the hose from the radiator to the water pump is in the way.

My question: can I purchase a different water pump that connects the radiator on the passenger side of the engine to the radiator? If So what is the part number or model and year of the mopar car with this type of Water pump connection.

Thanks for the time and assistance.

71 and newer aluminiumn passenger side drop water pump. Be prepared for other minor issues. :thinking :thinking


Just to be clear when you say hydraulic pump what are you talking about. :thinking :thinking

I purchased a power steering pump and It mounts below the pump.
What do you think I will run into. I understand I must re-route the lower radiator hose. What else.

You could modify PS Pump brackets and mount it higher. My 66 W100 uses an original style car PS Pump from a 318 car Poly engine.
I still run the drivers side outlet.
