    With out the crank and water pump double pulleys and a 54 water pump for this set up you are in trouble. Locate these items first unless you intend to buy and then resell. Figure on spending $500.00 or more to rebuild pump and ram cylinder. Walt.

    Yes, you may have to do a little fabrication to mount the steering stops, otherwise you are good to go. Soon I expect to have a pump.original hoses,mounting bracket, harmonic balancer and waterpump pully on eBay. I need to pressure test the pump.. Will post as soon as I get time to do the work.;)

    Lares Corp remanufactures your old cylinders with new piston. It's absolutely NEW...Phone number is 1-800-334-5749. :)

    What's different about the water pump, guys?
    The double pulley is longer so the shaft has to extend further out. Walt.

    The fan mounting flange is pressed on just a little bit forward of the original position, I don't recall the difference at the moment. I think a few washers under the pulley would suffice. Dave Kostansik can sell you one that is correct. I have an old original one that actually has a longer shaft, but I really don't think that is necessary.;)

    54 thru 56 engines had the longer water pump. There are plenty out there

    Russ;

    Did all '54 engines have the longer water pump?
    Only those with power steering. Walt.
