Reverse flow cooling question. LT1
On an LT1 the lower drivers side waterpump outlet that has a hose that runs to the bottom of the radiator. Can this be plugged or does this hose have something to do with the reverse flow cooling. My glimer vaccum pump belt will be hitting this nipple and I would like to pull the nipple out and plug the hole. Has anyone done this before? What is the purpose of that hose? I honestly have no idea.
Thanks

That's a vette waterpump. It doesn't have the connection on the driverside like the fbody pump.

Thanks guys!

What about the other two heater hose connections on the other side of the waterpump? Has anyone ever plugged those? I have them looped together but would like to plug them as well.

You can save yourself a little bit of hassle in that area if you buy a 92 Corvette model water pump. They came from the factory originally equipped with only the one upper heater hose barb.

Very nice! Did you polish that? Thanks for the info. I will plug them as well. I do have an extra Corvette water pump in storage. I wish I would have used that one but I already have this one powdercoated.
