Was looking for any info on water pump/ front cover as shown on Ebay listing https://www.ebay.com/itm/185811740409. 18th picture in listing. Maybe a marine application? Any info appreciated.
No idea but here's a picture of it.
Figured it out, stock cover machined flat and pipe elbows installed in pump ports.

So made to utilize a auxiliary waterpump most likely electric.
Although they usually run big cubic inch engines, perhaps a jet boat application? Jet boat engines use water pressure from the jet pump for cooling. IMHO
Great looking engine and intake.

I don't think so. To much depth to face and this profile appears not consistent with the production pieces, and the elbows appear to be as cast-in or welded-in and dressed as I don't see threading provisions? But with the consistent coloration if not as cast (aluminum) but rather assembled then post dressing/grinding/epoxying and painting would have been required. :-\
Looks like a bunch of mismatched intention parts more or less assembled solely for appearance sake. And yeah, I vote for the likelihood of a boat intentioned presentation along with the up-turned shortie-headers (looking very much like FOX Mustang application originally) but still needs a lot of finishing along with the damper and bolts installed and others tightened. :)
Scott.
