417 motorsports water manifold vs adapters with -AN fittings

[Lsguy]

I will be running a remote mount water pump and debating whether to run a 417 Motorsports water manifold or have Bob at AEI CNC make my motor plate to accept -AN fittings. I'm looking for anyone who has done this to please give some feedback on the pros and cons. Any pictures of either set up that you may have would be greatly appreciated. My setup is a single turbo 408. It will be Street driven occasionally at the drag strip it will be on methanol on the street it will be on E85. Thanks for the help I greatly appreciate it.

I run this kit on mine with a davies craig pump. 2-16an to 12 an y blocks and 16an bungs welded to the radiator inlet/outlet.

I have gaskets, then motor plate, and then more gaskets, then these blocks. Be sure to still use rtv as they leaked without it. Hope this helps

That's the exact setup I bought I have a David Craig pump in those exact fitting. I was curious because Bob at Aei told me he could machine forAN fittings into the motor plate while he is making it.. was yours leaking behind the motor plate.

Yes it was. Small bead of rtv fixed it
