Subject: Cutting down the water pump

Hello All...

I have taken a spare water pump housing I had and
hacked off the top neck( as you can see in the
attached photo )...

Does anyone know what type of aluminum the housing is
made out of?

I hope to have a plate welded over the top of both
openings.  Sealing the thermostat recirc shaft and
having a neck welded on the other opening.  The hope
is to save 2" or so by doing this route.  I am hoping
someone else has gone this route and can give a few
pointers, like will this work?  What aluminum alloy
did you use for the plate?  For the pipe neck?

Any help is appreciated...

Thanx...

-Scott
