Question on the loop im building

[spizzer]

Hi the idea behind this loop is to pay the less and get the more i can get for my $$. So ive done some shopping and so far i found.

for the rad : http://cgi.ebay.ca/1972-MUSTANG-HEATER-CORE-NEW_W0QQitemZ160004889942QQihZ006QQcategoryZ34197Q QrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

around 10$ + shipping 21$

pump: http://www.jebao.com/english/displayproduct.php?proid=50965

around 5$ on ebay + shipping 7$

waterblock :
on that i cant be cheap so: http://www.swiftnets.com/products/APOGEE.asp

65$ + 6$ shipping

Accessory:

1 tupperware to put the pump: free
1 coupling 1/2 * 1/2 to put on tupperware: 0.79$
2 coupling reducing 3/4 * 1/2 to fit the heater core on the loop : 0.99$ each
6 hose clamp 7/8: 4.74 $
4 hose clamp 1 1/8: 4.64$
10' 1/2 * 5/8 : 3.90$
2' 3/4 * 1": 2.54$
relay : 4.95$

so my loop cost me: 137.56$ CAD = 123.55$



I was wondering what you all think about that did i just spend 140$ buck for nothing or it might be good. The main prob i see for the moment is the pump with a low 400l/h maybe i should pick another one more powerful or i give a try like that?

Pump has kinda weak max head if read it correctly, 0.65m?

That pump will not do, 65cm (2 feet) even for a one block loop. Mag3, Aqua Via 1300 and Eheim 1048 all offers better performences and can be bought at low prices (Ebay has some via1300 for 20$). If you want to go on the cheap side and get thing on the Canadian side of the border let me till monday and I should be able to locate some decent stuff.

Edit: Meionm, you beat me to the punchline...
