4.3.09 New block arrived

Jim’s not bored any more…..the new block arrived today. After the unveiling…

He was glad to see that this came with the new block. This is the old one.

We now have new pulleys…..maybe our alternator belt will last longer.

and a new fuel pump pulley…this one was scored when the belt tensioner spring broke….

Jim ordered a water pump from Jesco…it was a bit pricey so he got one from NAPA….we wanted to compare them to see why.  The big difference is in the circumference of the impeller blades…This is the Jesco this is the NAPA

Jim feels there will be less water flow with the NAPA…so is keeping the Jesco Water pump.

There are a few parts he has to take off the old block….then assembly starts.
