would anyone be interested in a model b water pump with adapter to a model a head?

This would be rare, it is more likely to be an early V8 pump adapter. They look similar but the V8 has a smaller bolt "circle" than the B pump.

I agree with Jim. The adapter you describe would have to be zero thick unless you also relocated the crank shaft pulley.

I'll see if I can post pictures of it when I'm home from work, I believe the crankpulley is different than standard A.

J K,
I would be interested to know how the fan is attached to that water pump pulley?
Thanks

I believe it bolts on similar to the way the fan bolts to the generator of a 32

The head is a stock A with a block off plate over the standard upper outlet.

Will that fit behind the radiator in a stock configuration??

The V8 pump is short, and normally these adaptors are designed to put them in line with the crank pulley. An unaltered v8 pump would have no place for a fan, though I think one would fit if the pulley had a means of mounting it.

jkeesey · 02-28-2012, 05:13 PM

It looks like it may fit behind the radiator but it would be veeery close. It was run on an a coupe race car so I'm assuming it fit.

jkeesey · 02-28-2012, 07:00 PM

Turns out you can buy the adapter from MACS for $59.95. This one has the Ansen name cast on the side so its not one of the modern repops.

I was browsing thru a Mac's catalog today and saw it. Interesting thread on the EV8 forum about Mac's and its shipping.

I was part of that thread. Not to change the direction of this one but I'm a parts dealer for Macs and have never had a problem with them.

Do you guys know where to get the model a radiator to model b v8 waterpumop hose? the A is larger... thank you!

NickD · 11-01-2013, 12:50 PM

I have a model B 4 cyl head to a model a radiator..

Tom Wesenberg · 11-01-2013, 01:31 PM

You can go to the local parts store and look through the hoses. I did that last week trying to find a 2" hose to adapt a homemade coolant filter I have in mind. These days there aren't many cars still using a 2" hose, so my selection was very limited. If you do an ebay search you can look for 2" radiator hose or 2" straight hose and find quite a few with 2" on one end and a different size on the other end.
