Because there are options,I'm not sure what may be the best solution. New pump,rework existing pump and/or buy the relocation plate? What has been your experience as to what worked for you?

The relocation plate has worked best for me.

I bought short water pump from Patricks and worked for me, just my experience.

Here is a good photolog og an installation from Fla54Chevy3100: http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2803060960090459121lrHQVUThe plate allows you to use an older water pump (shorter shaft) in the correct cooling location for a pre-55 truck. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 | Thanks again! I think that's the way I will go. I was worried about the drilling, but instructions make it sraight forward.
