SS/B Barracuda project

Here is the correct aluminum water pump housing.
Notice it has two casting #s. One is for the iron housing and
the second is for the aluminum. This was used on the 65 race
hemis also. This part is different from the aluminum housing
Mopar Performance sells today as it has the old style alternator
mounting boss only and has XX cast on the lower left.
The second picture shows how the aluminum alternator bracket
fits.
These can still be found if you know what to look for. I have
bought them from guys that didn't know their significance as a race Hemi
only part.
Stefan your thread could turn into a recipe card for building a SS/B if we can get enough
guys to post. As far as I know the water pump itself was still iron. The aluminum
units you see in the pictures are modern MP offerings.
