351W waterpump rear plate gasget leak

| Hey Guys, got the engine out of the 66 coupe in order to cut the shock towers, replace the steering column with a collapsable 68', fix 3 broken bolts on the oil pan, and replaces rear main/put a fresh set of bearings in it and fix a couple of waterpump leaks. The Kid actually did some work on it last night! There appear to be 2 leaks in the water pump area...one where it bolts to the timing cover and one from the back cover plate of the pump itself. This pump is a left-hand (DR side) inlet pump. Aprox 5-3/4" from mounting plate to pulley plate. The radiator I have is only a small 3 core and am going to upgrade to a larger 4 core. Since it may not be worth the trouble to try to seal the back cover of the pump, can/should I go with a right-hand inlet pump at this time? Are there equal options on inlet/outlet locations on radiators to fit these cars? Whats best combo to go with from a parts availability/price/vbelt or serpentine belt point of view? When I get done, I want to be able to readily get replacement parts if needed (couple days ok, week or more-not ok). Thanks, Jamie |
