Licensed to kill Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Thinking of just getting a new water pump rather than putting the old one back together. Don't want to have to screw around with it once the truck is finished and difficult to work on. So, having said that, is this the right water pump for my 2V, E-6 going in a b-61?. https://www.agkits.com/mack-e6-e7-engine-water-pump-316gc284.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Don't know if it is short enough, has to be no longer than the original B model pump. It has the shaft length, maybe compare to the b model one. terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBWhite Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Adding onto that what is the difference between a long shaft pump an a short shaft pump? Does the radiator sit closer to the engine on the B models? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubleclutchinweasel Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Seems like there have always been "short snout" and "long snout" water pump discussions on here. I believe they are crucial for putting engines into things like the B model which are "tighter" under the hood. Keep us informed. 1 Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleclutchinweasel Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Oh, and Freightrain is a good resource on this one. He's already done it. 2 Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I stand the shaft I have on the bench on the impeller, it has a total length of under 6.5" which seems right but that is the shaft AND the impeller and I don't know if that is how they are typically measured or not. I suspect it is correct as the shaft goes all the way through the impeller so it IS total shaft length. A bigger concern is this "Technical Specs: Metric Housing, Stamped Impeller, Base Pump with 6 19/64" shaft length, No Pulley". What does "metric housing" mean??.
