There's a couple good pictures there. Basically there's a bracket that bolts to the side of the block, and one big bolt on the water pump. It is hard to use the "small block" style you have pictured there. It is far easier to get the style I have (small housing) which you will find on trucks and early passenger cars.

will the small block pump not work? I have the brackets you have on yours but your pump looks different

I have the sbc pump & stuff on my BBC brackets. Just needed the spacer and to pull the pulley off (properly) and its all good.

It has to be pulled off?????? not the hex bolt on the front??

I tried making the small block pump work and I couldn't make it fit right. If you get the older style pump (like I have) it will fit like a charm. I don't remember exactly why it didn't fit but I think it was the reservior itself. They are a different shape. If you get the one like I have it is a bolt in and go with no modification at all.

Actually, let me rephrase that "no modification" part. I did have to take the return input tube, remove it, replace so it pointed downward rather than to the side. It's pretty easy to do, and if you solder it with sweat solder it won't ever leak because it does not see any pressure.

If you look at this picture:

You can see the tube is pointing out the side. It's not like that anymore. I used one off a small block pump reservior to replace it with.

I have the small block pump and brackets on my BB, I'll see if I can post some pics. Takes a little modification, but works perfectly.
