As part of a 3G alternator/5.0 serpentine swap on my 66'/351w, I'm planning to add a HD 5.0 water pump. I pulled the water pump from a late 80s... something (I think it was a Tbird, but it mighta been a bronco.. been a while and we were yanking stuff from several different cars). It has a little rust on it so I just wanted to use it as a core for a solid HD pump.

The Police Interceptor/HD pump has an impeller right? What years/models can I find the HD pump on? Are tehre specific part numbers to look for/avoid? No difference as far as gaskets go either right?

Thanks!

I'm not sure i understand what you are up to.

A ford racing 5 liter water pump is only like $75 new and you don't need a core.

Don't go overthinking the water pump, you don't need high flow or heavy duty.
