Water Pump w/cooler and fan clutch options?

[phishtaco]

Looking for a water pump option for my 79 2F with oil cooler and fan clutch. Looks like OEM and Aisin are discontinued. Next best option?

have you called Cruiser Outfitters?

Nope, found a post from them earlier in the year saying they had a couple in stock and once they are gone that’s all. I suppose I could try them on Monday.

Yup, I remembered that post, thinking maybe ask @cruiseroutfit for an update...
Also, what is the difference between my '76 block and your '79? I've been able to find one at my FLAPS even fairly recently. Also, if you can find a non-fanclutch waterpump you can swap that front flange to what you need.

No idea if there are differences between the 76 and 79

There's some shorter waterpumps, don't recall when they started. this is what I've been using;

A while back someone posted of a place in USA that rebuilt their NLA Toyota water pump. I might have saved the link. It was in like Chigagostain I think.

I don't think much of that tiny little oil cooler either - yea I'm sure it helps some. No use for fan clutches either - something else to go wrong and brake when you in the outback.

There is a difference in p/n's between '76 and '79 engine block, but I couldn't tell you what actual difference there is. That's for the experts.

I know one difference is the 1/79 plus has three threaded holes above where the air pump mounts to installed the power steering pump bracket.

So, are there any currently available waterpumps that WILL fit a '79 block?
