what size lines

[76cole]

ok superdave is going to plumb my water pump for me.
what size line's should they be? its a 468 bbc stout cam in it
10.5-1 850 holley should be putting out about 600 h.p.
-10 or -8 lines. whats the right size? thanks

I do 8's on the outlets of the pump and 10 on the inlet. It's enough. A lake is a large radiator.

[Rexone]

I agree with Fiat if its a small boat. If a larger heavy boat though you might want to go bigger (more load = more heat). Especially if blown or turbo (which doesn't sound like the case).

[76cole]

its a neovane pump. do you mean a -10 into the pump then -8 to the block? also how do you plumb the rest of the set up as in the water to the headers and the over flow? its a 18ft cole tr1 and this engine is just on a single carb. when i get used to running it real good then the blower engine goes in:)

76cole, what size is your cav plate pick up?
I think you will find the drag guys will say -8 and the cruiser / endurance guys will say -10.
My flat had -8 and I'll prolly put -10 on the cruiser. I don't think you will be doing 10 mile+ passes in you rig so a -8 will be fine.

The Question is Where are you getting your fittings????????:rolleyes:

[superdave013]

No, Smalls the question is what size lines would you run off of a Neovane pump in a cole flat with a BBC?

Larry, I thought you had that already figured out?
I'm gonna guess like ahhh -8??????

[Thunderbutt]

In a Crusier #12 from the plate throught the oil cooler then split with #10 throught the headers and into the block, then dump with #8. In the cold water lakes I use to chock the lines down on the dump, but at LOTO where the warter is in the 90's I open up the lines and put on a bigger pump. I think with headers it runs hotter. I like 180 to 185

[smalls]

I know a guy in SoCal that could hook you up with some fittings and he would probably even make them to fit..............

76Cole,
I also have a Cole TR-1 with a BBC. I am running a #10 in, and a #8 out. I have had no heating problems with this set up.
Anouther concern you must consider is too much block presure at WOT.

Nope. Force fed through a manual control valve. There is a pickup in the bottom of the boat.:D

So thats whats slowing you down:rolleyes: ;) :D

[Kindsvater Flat]

I think of it as a speed limiter. No way would I want to hit the speeds that you do!:D

76cole:cool:

[76cole]

dave went and check what size line i have and it is -8 at the
water pump. question for the running of out lines do the dump lines go to the headers? i do not have any lines going overboard on the hull anywhere.

:cool:

[INEEDAV]

You dont have an extra fitting out of the back of the boat where the pick up comes in do ya, that is what I am using on mine.

[76cole]

no extra fittings just for the bilge pump. got 2 -8 lines on the cav plate to a tee then single -8 line to the pump. should there be
another line for the dump and a line to the headers. thanks
76cole:cool:

[INEEDAV]
