Re: [AMC-list] 232 in an early American

I slept on this and had a few other thoughts. The 4.0L and post '70 6 cyls are a taller block (hood/firewall interference?) and you would want a Grand Cherokee or '91 up Wrangler waterpump set up with the Serpentine belt. (fan mounts on the pump of those. XJ is run offset to one side with an electric fan on the other with AC cars)

Can't be easy to find though! I think the serp belt pumps are the way to go,
since the issue with the older ones is that the pump shaft is so long
because they stuck the cooling fan on the end of it. With factory electric
fan the serp pump wouldn't have to stick out much further than the damper
and that's good enough. 'parts from NAPA' is a good thing!
 
Clever though. The Nash type pump could be belt driven off the alternator
belt...
