by Just wondering what I should do here. The motor I have has a long water pump. I won't be running the stock fan set-up going with a electric fan. Wondering if I stay with the long pump instead of the short one will I hit the fan ??? My 69 has the short pump. Is eveyone running the short or long???

Long pumps are much more common and the brackets are ALOT easier to find for long pump... just something to think about. I had a short pump on my 72 Chevy truck and I had a very difficult time finding brackets that would fit it. My alternator bracket broke and then I learned how hard to come by they are. You can buy alternator brackets for the long pump off the shelf at most parts store... I looked all over at the junkyards and online, I finally ended up having the busted bracket repaired. I would run a long pump if there is room for one, just for ease of being able to find brackets.

I have a long water pump and still have plenty of room for my electric fan.
