Do these even exist anymore on the aftermarket?
I have been acuminating parts for a few years and am ready to begin a build for for my 29 speedster. Have a Burtz block, Roof 101 cyclone head, Mitchel transmission and overdrive unit plus many other parts.
The Roof uses a 3 bolt water pump, which I don't have.

Asking the experienced people here, how would a approach the cooling system on this build?

Thanks.

Yes they are around but the chance of finding someone with them rebuilt is getting slimmer. Berts used to have a guy that did it but the last time I called them the contact number wasn't good. You can rebuild them yourself, I have a number of castings and the parts to rebuild are readily available.

There’s 2 versions, 32. And 33-34, the 33-34 version is shorter

..and the best way to tell them apart at a swap meet is by looking at the distance between the two grease fittings.

You mean ahead with a C on it?

jack backer · 01-12-2023, 05:44 PM

I’ve got a 1944 casting date ‘C’ head..

Renner's Corner has parts for the three bolt water pumps. Contact Dave, maybe he has a source for a pump.

Except for the shaft, you rebuild a 3-bolt pump with Model "A" pump parts.

I have both water pumps and B heads Bob

Yes, I didn't mention that I was going to use it and had I resurfaced. Then I got a police head , which I used in place of it.

dgservices ........... Are you sure the Roof Head takes a B/C water pump? The 32-35 V8 pumps also use a 3 bolt pattern, but I believe the opening and spacing of the holes is different than that of the B/C pumps. It is not uncommon, in other high compression head set-ups to use the V8 pump.
