Mine has the spin on Duramax fan not the bolt on like yours. Greg from BD made a big song and dance about changing the original pump to this 'the latest you beaut' pump. My original veebelt driven wp has the fitting like yours, but not the new one. Greg is not responding to me after I gave him a serve about the bonnet and body lift fiasco, so will try later this week for an answer when Scotty returns from sick leave.
Your motor looks good. Did you have to relieve the top of the thermostat housing to allow the s/c snout to fit? What size alternator are you running? When is the motor going into the vehicle or is it already in?

To my knowledge no mods were required to the thermostat housing, the alternator is 130amp if you can believe Greg.
Engine will be in this week, have been looking into the "beaming bolt bracket" for the 6L90 transmission.
Did Greg quote a water pump part no.? hope the screw on fan hub isn't too long and fouls the radiator.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

That one was a one of custom make by the bloke who built the car. One of the first barra powered patrols from at least 10 years ago.
Can you tell he liked his Fords?

Back to Melb on R&R, picked up radiator with low water level plug mod, pile of parcels waiting for me including the chassis stiffener kits and front spring tower stiffener - another set of jobs! Anyway, bonnet scoop should be here Wed at latest, and with luck will have truck running by Monday PM.
