sbc 400 water pump
I'm putting the finishing touches on the engine swap currently and am unsure of which style water pump to go with. If I go with a long pump on the sbc 400 will I run into any issues with the fan shroud clearances, and will I have problems with power steering brackets. I don't know what the 400 had on it stock because I got the block in a trade. Any suggestions and reasons for either a short or long pump are appreciated. Thanks.
P.s. this is in a 67 short stepper. |

Re: sbc 400 water pump
ALL V-8's in '67 to '72 Chevy/GMC trucks had short pumps. So if you are using all the stock 1967 SBC engine bracketry... use the short water pump.

Re: sbc 400 water pump
The short pump will go on the 400 small block in case you were worried about that, I have one on my 71 one ton.

Re: sbc 400 water pump
The larger 400 balancer has issues with some power steering setups(both long and short pump). I would stay short pump if it will work. Just trial fit it and see. Other than that, I am not aware of other issues with 400s and any accessories.
