Im in the process of getting the bottom end of my 1966 block sorted out for my car. Its a mustang block 30 thou overbore 289 and im using the original crank and heads (exhaust valve seats and phospher bronze guides have been fitted). I want to make the engine as 'period' as possible externally, correct inlet manifold, 48 IDA's and correct bellhousing (for my ZF-2 trans), and correct pan.
The question is.... what was the original water pump used in the 289 engine? I have a supplier who can give me the correct pullys and bracket for the alternator but I cant find any reference to what water pump to use. Ideally I would like a high volume pump but with the same external dimensions as space is tight around that area of the car. BTW no air con in this car......
Anybody out there know?
