Umm if I understand you right... Wait. What do you need?
you can't change that part of the pump out.. your going to have to buy another pump.

can you swapp the complete shaft with the blade in the pump? if thats possible then im good to goo!!


take a good look at where the clutch/fan and pully sits.. its a different time.. and it stick outs less further then the F150' ones

AND take a good look. at where it bolts to the engine its different also.. if it was the same.. i would just used a f150 waterpump

I really don't think you can...
Well you might be able to, if the shafts are the same size and you had welding equipment you could kinda Frankenstein one together..
I think the only ones you could do that on was the old MOPAR water pumps.

be careful with old Pumps man if your building a new engine I would highly recommend coughing up the money and getting a new one..

That should work get the right cover...I never played with anything this new with that type of water pump, Just make sure the pump is spinning in the right direction.

It's me Steve from youtubes.......

ok!!. i swapped the pulley from one pump to another.. so it has the same bolt pattern for the pulley and the fan clutch and now i just need to make a 1 3/4 " spacer for the pulley to line with the other belts and thats one less problem :)


its good to have a friend with a machine shop sometimes!
