I'm doing an engine swap from a L6-250 to a v8-307. Can you use either one on a 307?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?
I have a 69 c-10, would this application use a short or long water pump?
Thanx any info would be appreciated.

The two pumps are noticably different if you have both to look at and you will need the correct pulleys and brackets for the altenator and power steering pump if so equipped for either waterpump. | | |
