1916 super siz water pump?

hello everyone, my name is Casey and I joined in order to help my 95 year old neighbor get his cut down 1916 hudson super six parde ready and easier to enjoy. It is completely missing the water pump and I believe that it has had the grill and possibly the radiator replaced with a dodge brothers unit. Does anyone have suggestions for where to purchase a water pump, or how to replace it with something that will work? My dad is a "duct-tape engineer" and wants to put a pump from a washing machine in it. It should work, as long as you leave the hood down right? I will attach some pics when I am at my computer, if it would help and if there is interest. Thanks for any help or suggestions.
