It a bit expensive I know (340$ USD). It's what I need for my 261 in the AD truck. Comes with the pulley. Says it's made in USA. Don't mind paying a little more for it if thats true and it's good quality. Anyone have knowledge of this product? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 3,689 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 3,689 | Seems rather high. Jim Carter has the same thing for $170. https://oldchevytrucks.com/reme205.htmlI bought one from Carter several years ago and it works great. If I had to do it again, I would buy the early pump and use the adapter.

I checked on one for a friend and Oriellys was $90 just a few weeks ago. Folks will take your money if you let them. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2014 Posts: 892 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2014 Posts: 892 | I made my own short shaft water pump by pressing the flange on the required extra amount and cutting the shaft after it was done. I've done this twice with good results. Now, I'd like to rebuild an extra pump for the future. Where can I get bearings and seals for the pump?

Most places like Carters if you put it in the cart, It tells you it will ship when available. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2014 Posts: 892 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2014 Posts: 892 | If someone uses the original size pulley, it'll spin the fan too fast and maybe throw a blade through the hood. Watch the pulley sizes. I should expand on my post to say that I was using the late pump and a 2-shiv pulley from an air-conditioned V8.

Use a stamped steel pulley for a Ford small block V8- - - -302 or 351. They come with either one or two belt grooves. That solves the pump speed problem.
