Hey all ,

I'm not trying to do Mike's talking for him, but he also needs a radiator and water pump for the 254 in his 51. It sounds like he has a good foundation to work with,except for the subframe. It's 34k original car and Mike has gone through a lenghty flushing proceedure before fireing it up. I'm throwing my 20 cents worth in, cause I told him Kansas Hudson folk would help him bring it back to life. I've been encouraging him to work with what he has,see how he likes the dependability, and smooth performanance of the 254 before ging the sbc and chebby subframe. Lets help Mike save a treasure, ok?

There is a NOS water pump on EBAY, or try Dave Kostansek. I do not have his number close by, check the roster or a search on this forum. I think the commodre 8 and the Hornet radiator are the same.

Just wondering outloud...maybe you could buy a complete one in need of restoration and then part out?

You would be able to make some money back and maybe be able to find a donor vehicle faster than just trying to locate a clip?
