About 20 hours labor. I could have cut that down to about 15 but I sanded all the way to 12,000 grit to make sure all the edges and corners stayed perfect. This is a 92 Corvette model pump that originally came equipped with only one extra heater hose pipe, which I cut off and welded shut with Alumalloy for a cleaner appearance. I was a little bit nervous about doing this because of my experience with LT1 intakes and witnessing first hand their horrible casting quality but this water pump turned out to only have a minimal amount of porosity, and nothing that was bad enough that it could be seen from 3 feet away.

 

dam goog job!!!

 

It looks nice, definitely worth the labor.

 

looks damn good bro.

 

looks awsome,I'm doing the same thing right now I hope mine turns out that good.

 

looks sweet but i damn there's a lot of upkeep on polished parts.

 

That looks incredible, man, nice job.

 

looks good mine is polished as well. major pita but everything is polished in my engine bay and man i love it!!

 

looks real good how long did it take you to do it and i wonder if you can clearcoat it to keep from havin to re polish it

 

Looks great!

 

Thanks for all the compliments guys. Much appreciated.

 

Looks great! I wish I had that much ambition

 

wtf? Where can you find anything higher than 1,000 grit? I can't find any.

 

YOu should convert that to an electric while it's out. that way you can keep it down the road.
