water pump compatibility

[red66toy]

I need a new water pump for my 65 F motor, I was wondering if a newer water pump from a 68 and on will work. Thanks.

i put a 68 on my 63' f motor and it works great. i got it a kragen for like $40, it has a lifetime want. if you need the part # let me know

Gmb C 170-1080, $50.00

 

[red66toy]

Sweet, thanks dude.

Well I went and got the pump and mounted it and it was too long( the pullys didn't line up), did you have issues with this? I took it back and Cdan is looking to see if he can find me one.

 

[Ian Rogers]

no i had no problem thats odd

I've done mine a couple times. Both times I had to special order a rebuilt unit specified for pre-68 (IIRC) motors. I don't remember what the difference was, but I had to get the right one. I think I paid about $40 each time, and other than making the parts monkeys actually open a book for the right numbers, it was painless.

Eric,
was that from Toyota or from a parts store?

if it was $40 it was from a parts store

Duh, i guess i should have figured that. ;p

Yeah that was from (the now defunct) Al's Auto. I think Schucks bought them out.

If you don't want to do it again, let CDan get you a new one. I used the warranty a couple times on those rebuilt ones.

 

[red66toy]

Yeah, he is looking for a pump that will work for me. Thanks.

I was talking to my parts guy, had him look for a 65 pump, nothing shows up.

but my 65 fj45LV has a new pump on it.......but thats the way I got it.

might email up Mark(Marks Off Road) he is the early F motor guru.......I am sure he knows/has a pump for a 65.

 

[red66toy]

Cool, thanks Pimp. I will get in touch with him.

Glad to help, Chase. Now fix that rocker arm assembly before it's too late!

 

[red66toy]

Thanks for the help Mark. The new pump will go in tomorrow and the rockerstand very soon also.

I put the new pump in today. Man, my engine is sooooo much quieter now. The shaft in the pump was grinding on the mounting plate of the pump so that was causing a bit of noise.

I've changed out a lot of water pumps at the shop, and consider myself lucky to have NEVER heard that noise!
