Title: Bottom radiator hose engine outlet location - 1975 440
Post by: Gatorslayer on March 13, 2024, 01:36:15 PM
I'm swapping a 1975 440ci into a 1970 Cuda. 

WATER PUMP
From what I have researched, the bottom water outlet on the engine was DRIVERS side until 1973, then went to passenger side to allow room to mount smog pump. Anybody know if I can just use an older water pump (with drivers side outlet) on the 1975 motor to have it look correct (and work with correct radiator). It looks like it would but then I wasn't sure it if might affect the power steering brackets?

Anybody know? Thanks in advance for any assitance

Yes they are interchangeable, the water pump housings.
