Enjoy.
Just set up.under the impeller shaft and push the flange back,assuming you have a press.wouldn't the waterpump have to be completely dis assembled to able to move the flange back. (round 1/4" plate that the fan bolts to)?

Then you would have to have the Tiger pulleys.
Reading this article you find out all the poop you thought you knew about SBF to not be very much! Great Info!These harmonic balancers come in 2 balance factors so be sure to get one that matches your crank

I woke up in the middle of the night thinking that I had described how to do it like a Tiger with the early style timing cover and pump.
You can keep the 72 timing chain cover and stock cast pump, and assuming the Tiger pullies, all you need to do is push the fan flange on the pump shaft inboard.
If you are using different pullies, or a 4 bolt dampner, then it is a different story...................
You can use your waterpump. You have to press the flange on further to line up with the 289 pulley. Hoghead's Tiger pulleys would be shorter yet. The 289 waterpump has passenger side inlet. For your waterpump you will need a dual pass radiator like Joel. For the 289 waterpump you would use a Chevy style radiator.

would think I'd have to have a Radiator "made" for these dimensions, and top left/bottom right outlets
I bought an aluminium Griffin rad for a Tiger from Summit of all places
would you happen to have the parts number ?
Cheaper at Summit than from Griffin and Ron Davis makes great stuff but their pricing is almost prohibitive for the common man,and Griffins radiator is epoxied after mfg. The latest build I'm doing I built my the radiator from a kit from Speedway Motors not for everyone but I got exactly what I wanted,I've been thru this most of the stuff posted here and just do my own stuff cruzeing the junk yard to find stuff that will work is counterproductive in my opinion.would you happen to have the parts number ?
