Block mounted water pumps first appeared on the 21 stud engine in 1937. Alan

Alan, I believe "who" is speaking about the cavities in the block casting as depicted in my attached photo. I'm gonna guess this is probably a question best to answered by David Rehor. If anyone would know "why?" he surely is the man. Mike "Kube" Kubarth This message was edited by kubes40 on 3-20-24 @ 3:41 PM

The cavities first appeared on early '33 V8 blocks. I believe that the reason is pretty straight forward, namely material and a small weight savings.
