So does that mean that potentially one could fit an
RX8 front cover with pump & cartridge to the older 13B? I was not aware that
was possible. I know the newer pump cartridges are much lighter and would get me
at least half way to my goal. The original 1988 13b water pump is a big heavy
cast iron monster and is deep enough that interferes with my
firewall.
How deep are the newer RX8 pumps?
I know a few yeas back, long before I came on scene PL
made a run of water pump housing castings that fit on the 13b and could use the
newer RX8 pump cartridge. I communicated with him about obtaining one
but if I remember correctly there were none left. Bob White had one of
them that he was not using but at the time he wanted to hang on to it for
his Sunbeam conversion and was not ready to sell. If anyone has one of
these old PL manufactured water pump housings to fit on the older 13b and take
the new stamped RX8 pump cartridge, and are willing to sell I would be
interested.
