From the Edelbrock site on Victor Series:

Polished #8841 ....#8846
PermaStar finish #8841 ....#88412
Right-hand inlet with back plate. Dimension from casting to hub: 5.42". Inlet diameter: 1.78".

I guess you can call Edelbrock to answer your question on the right/left thing.

For right side, you can have your radiator modified with a -16AN fitting. Get a Goza adapter for the pump: hose to AN. And run AN braided hose. You will only use a small 4" piece of hose for the adapter. I run -16AN top and bottom.

Whatever you do DON'T USE SILICONE on your waterpump gaskets. When I tore down my engine while looking for the overheating problem, I found pieces of silicone stuck in the small ports of my AFR's. One piece looked like a bass lure. Use permatex, the old standard.
