I thought you said they were steel which is like 88-89

I believe so, but not 100% sure...

 

[80' 427]

Are they big alum pieces? No then get a 88 pump.

The brackets bolt to the block and the heads.

Look steel to me.

Bolts AROUND the water pump.

Martin

 

[78SWB]

That's what I thought. Just making sure.

 

[HINZ28]

Are you implying that I drill them out to make them work?

That's what I did.....shhhhhh

My spare water pump is prob the same one you need

 

[78SWB]

Well too late now, I just bought one and a bunch of gaskets. Stuff does add up quick

[82355]

Find an LT1 cam or a vortec cam?

Martin

 

[78SWB]

No, and now I need a new timing cover thanks to not noticing I had the wrong seal.

 

[82355]

Speedway sells a cheap two piece.

Martin

 

[78SWB]

Good call, that wil be easy to replace.

 

[HINZ28]

Jelly wish I woulda painted mine orange

 

[y5mgisi]

[79rustyk10]

I love me some orange small blocks. Looks good.

 

[skunked]

looks good.

Are you doing a black oil pan?

 

[78SWB]

No it's orange. I just haven't put it on yet. I had to use a diff pan to primer the engine since the pan was already painted.

 

[Stein]

MOAR wrenching and less painting!

 

[78SWB]

The painting is pretty much done. The wrenching on the other hand has just begun.
