Thanks everyone.. however, my engine is a 55.2 235 so the original style pump for the 1953 would not fit.

I purchased this water pump from Chevy of the 40s

235 Water pump with 7" Pulley

Which fit well but the pulley and fan bolt holes did not align.

I really need this water pump:

235 Water Pump with original style pulley

But they are out of stock...

So I either need an original water pump or a fan that would work with the bolt pattern for the newer pump...




53 3100 purchased brand new by my wife's grandfather... full frame up restore in progress.
