Really nice pump. Is it made so one stage feed's the other or does it work as two seperate pumps with two more port's not shown?

Two separate pumps with two ports not shown. 1 will feed the motor and the other will feed the exhaust. I was at Kevin's shop yesterday for about 7 hours while he was machining and cad drawing on this thing. It's badass!Quote:

The end plate, mid section, shaft bearing housing, shaft and intermediate drive adapter are all different. It has 4 of the -16 port to hose adapapters, one pump will flow to the engines and coolers and the other for exhaust only.
I was going to run my v-105 neovane but after talking to several people about the CMI headers they need much more water flow than the neovane can provide. I was looking for a cam driven pump that had 2 stages and I wasn't able to find one so I ended up with this science project.
Extremely nice work product you got going on here, thanks for sharing it with us.
Now this is some serious boating content! thx
How does the water pump mount? Are you building a bracket so it can hang from the engine plate?
You running a roller cam in that thing?
Yes, why? Endplay?Quote:
