oldburbs,
Your last post is completely different topic. To keep people on-topic (replying to one topic/question), it would have been better to start a new thread.
No problem, now - just something for you to consider when you have a new topic/question in the future.
What you need to solve the water-pump problem is how to relocate an older water pump on the newer engine. A member, Pre '68 Dave, sells a relocation plate that is available on eBay and from some vendors (Jim Carter, for one).
Try a "search" on this page (upper right), searching on the following words: +pump +plate
Check out the search-results, and then, ask away.
