Found Intercepter alum. timing cover on E Bay.Have never seen one like this,the org.H/M motor used a metal block off plate,no circulating pump on motor,and a y-pipe to feed each head. Raw water pump mounted to the crank,lovejoy coupling.
this cover has water inlet/outlet for each head,and a hole in the center,w/triangle bolt pattern ,directly in front of cam gear. What goes in this hole, and how is it plumbed. I want to remove the cast iron timing cover and circulating pump,will clean up the front of the motor and save some weight............help me out guys,pics would be a plus..............boat dr ------------- boat dr /diaries/details.asp?ID=4631 - 1949 Dart /diaries/details.asp?ID=1533 - 1964 American Skier |

If your running that overpumped five-o I would suggest keeping the circ pump to reduce the severity of hot spots, provide more even temp control and thus less block deformity, which can compromise ring seal and engine life.
Al front covers and circ pumps are always available from Jegs or Summit. ------------- "There is nothing, absolutely nothing, half so much worthwhile as messing around with boats...simply messing." River Rat to Mole |

Boat Rx, That cover is just like the one I am going to use on my 302 to 351 change, The "hole" in the center is where the Tach drive was, it was cable driven from the factory. Its plumbed like you descirbed above, with the exception that the "Y" pipe is made into this type of cover. My H/M did not have a lovejoy coupled raw pump, but I have seen that set up, Mine is belt drive mounted low under the right side of the balancer.

Todd, can you zap me a pic or two of the set up you have,I know it is different than the H/M that uses the Y-Pipe to flow to each head.Pictures are worth , well you know.
Doe's the raw water supply tee to supply both heads,And what about thermostat housing.I know it can't be used ,too many hoses,what goes in its place? ------------- boat dr /diaries/details.asp?ID=4631 - 1949 Dart /diaries/details.asp?ID=1533 - 1964 American Skier |
