I found out Whipple makes an offset bypass valve bracket to allow the Meziere electric pump to fit (costs $250). Unfortunately I found out late and already returned the pump.
Maybe a 2nd time future upgrade.
I attached pictures of my 4th try with the water pump. This time I had a machine shop tap a hole in each side of the pulley slightly into the shaft. Then they put in a set screw and that's that...hopefully this is a good fix and my pulley doesn't fall off again!
So the great news is my car is running again! And my Bogarts showed up today!
I'll have my tires mounted this weekend and then all I need is a tune and maybe install my RX Chiller and I should be set to get into the 10s!!!
