Well the question is whether it is better to adapt the Ford Racing 351w pump or machine down a 351c? Any volunteers?

I have no experience either way.

With the tower on the stock water pump cut back, the water pump pulley will wind up as flat. The alternator is moved back as Boss Wrench describes as is the A/C. This is where the flat bulkhead becomes reality.

The stock 351c water pump casting actually looks like it has been extended. It is suggestive that it can be shortened some. The number that you are looking to reduce that is by around 1-1/2".

I wouldn't expect the shaft to require a bearing that is 3-1/2" deep? That part of the pump casting is very similar if not identical to the 351w pump housing which can be cut down and is available now shorten exactly 1-1/2".

The key to a flat bulkhead is a low profile water pump.
