[QUOTE="cutting torch, post: 6497, member: 134"] Pics! Whoooo! The water pump inlet manifold from the 250 is wider than the 500, from bolt-to-bolt.... [IMG]http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b260/torch3/IMG_0767.jpg[/IMG] So, I welded up the holes to relocate them: [IMG]http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b260/torch3/IMG_0768.jpg[/IMG] Then, I milled and drilled: Note: KX500 heads seem to be a purer alloy than KX250 water manifolds, based on the way they weld. I need to fix these pits: [IMG]http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b260/torch3/IMG_0770.jpg[/IMG] In order to move the bolt holes in, I needed a smaller bolt head. Hello, Allen! [IMG]http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b260/torch3/IMG_0771.jpg[/IMG] The factory bolt was too fat: [IMG]http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b260/torch3/IMG_0772.jpg[/IMG] Here are pics of how things will lay out. I still need to make a wye to split the coolant between the radiators for the parallel arangement I want. That wye will split the coolant flow in half between the head and the top of each radiator.
