How does the cooling system work on a race AJP. Any pictures?

Am i right in thinking that the two water pumps both push the water into the engine from the Y piece? Or am i getting that the wrong way round?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Mike

just to clarify things mike the race engines have two pumps each feed one side of the engine, as you think they draw through the y piece then through the engine out the water rails and into the top off the water tank then from there to the rad, the wet sump engines have a water way cast into the sump so have no need for twin pumps hope that helps

banghead ah that makes more sense, you've not built a 4.7 road engine then it's a 4.7 tuscan racer engine?
