Radiator mods for reverse flow water pump?

[88 Fox GT]

I need to know what modifications need to be done to my stock radiator to make it work with the EFI motor. I will be using the surpentine belt setup so the water pump will be reverse-flow.

dont worry about it... the water flows the same direction but the pulley spins the other way

i think hes worried about the radaitor fitting being on the wrong side of the car...

option 1: get a new radiator...
option 2: Maybe you could find a shop that can modify your radiator?
option 3: some of the early bronco guys have had a metal tube bent to wrap under the crank pully and go back to the passengers side...

oh poop i guess there is a 4th option, get a passenger side dump universal rotation pump... I think most marine applications fit this bill

you sure you need to do all taht??? I dont think you do. My buddy has a fox that origionally had a reverse pump on it and he swapped to a standard rotation flow pump and it was fine. The fins on the impeller are just reversed to make the water flow but it still flows in the same direction.

Well this site says he had a radiator shop reverse the water outlet and drain valve for about $30.

Since it's reverse flow, it will pull the water IN where it flows OUT now. So the radiator will have to be modified to make the hoses fit in the right places. Right?
