What size belt are you running? How is it routed? Are you really running water pump backwards? No overheating problems?

I take it you have no power steering pump like myself. My belt goes in one circle right around all three pulleys and the tensioner just applies pressure between the alternator pulley and water pump pulley. My engine runs at a cool 180F even on the hot days and i have no shroud. The secret to my cooling magic is a plastic flex fan (not the stock big white blade fan) but the aftermarket black plastic and weighs nothing. Im also running an aluminum rad from a 6 cylinder camaro which needed minor mounting adjustment. Dont worry about the water pump direction it wont affect your temp. Good luck and if you need any more help just mail me your questions<br> P.S. My motor is far from a stocker<br>TRICK_5_0
