I know there are a few motorsports people on here, what I want to know is if anyone has fitted, or has seen a Vauxhall smallblock 8v engine fitted with an electric water pump (i.e. the Davies Craig motorsport type)?
I've just acquired a couple of these pumps, and I want to see how people have solved the problem of removing the standard water pump, which obviously also acts as the cambelt tensioner on these engines.
I see SBD sell the same electric pump that I have, but make no mention of how you go about losing the stock water pump;

NOTE; I want to see ACTUAL examples of a successful installation please, I'm not interested in theories on how it could or couldn't be done.
Thanks.
