Description: PLEASE READ & UNDERSTAND ENTIRE DESCRIPTION PRIOR TO PURCHASE. New short shaft water pump conversion kit for all 1955- 1962 Chevrolet 235 & 261 motors. This kit allows you to install a later high oil pressure 235 motor in your earlier '37-'54 Chevy car or truck, without having to move the radiator forward to adjust for clearance problems between the fan blade & radiator. *** Made in the USA*** This is a BRAND NEW pump...... This is NOT a rebuilt or refurbished pump. This pump has an improved updated beefier casting that offers 2 access ports for heater hose access. Pump features an improved cast iron impeller design for superior cooling & longer life. Makes for a nice clean installation.No need to hack up original long shaft pumps & then try to mix & match improper pulleys. A must have part if you are replacing your early 216 motor with a later 235 or 261 motor. This is a modified pump & pulley...Will NOT fit applications that require a stock pump & a stock pulley. Kit is complete with the NEW high performance pump, gasket & correct custom engineered Shallow 3/8" X 7'' powder coated pulley & 2 heater hose fittings....You get everything pictured. Custom made pulley is the same diameter as the stock pulley & it uses the stock belt...So, no worries about have to find a belt to fit. Will be sent in the unpainted state...you can install it as is but we highly recommend that you paint the pump to match your motor. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************ Will only fit the 1955-1962 Chevrolet 235 & 261 motors. ** This kit will NOT fit the 1937-1954 Chevy 216 motors & it will NOT fit any pre 1955 Chevy motor **. Will only fit the 1937 1954 Chevy cars & trucks IF a later 1955-1962 235 or 261 motor is installed in it. Requires the use of the STOCK 1955-1962 Chevy 235/261 fan blade & the STOCK 1955-1962 235/261 harmonic balancer.You cannot mix & match incompatible fan blades or incompatible harmonic balancers. Every installation is different, but most installations are " bolt in " with no adjustments needed.... That being said..... you still may need some basic mechanical problem solving skills to properly install this kit if there are any minor clearance issues. ***Be advised that about 10% of the time a shallow spacer may be required between the fan blade & pulley to allow for clearance between the harmonic balancer & the fan blade..... or a shallow spacer may be needed between the back of the pulley & the pump flange to align the pulley groove with your harmonic balancer **** ***Be advised that if your timing cover mounting plate protrudes any wider than the timing cover { about 10% of engines } you will need to clearance or notch the timing cover mounting plate for the pump to fit { see detailed images } *** ***If you are unable, unwilling or not prepared for the possibility of having to make a few minor adjustments to get everything to line up, we DO NOT recommend this pump for you*** We included a picture of this pump installed with a spacer for reference only....Spacer is not included. Please make sure this pump is correct for your application BEFORE purchasing. We also offer this kit with a Chrome pulley on a different listing. Check out our other listings if you want a Chrome pulley.
