does any one make a aluminum water pump for a 390? i have looked but haven't found a much on the subject and do they make a chrome timing cover for a 390 as well

 

Have you tried Summit?

 

The timing cover is aluminum and I don't believe anyone is reproducing it. Edelbrock makes an aluminum water pump for the FE engines. Just picked one up for my 428.

 

I have a Edelbrock aluminum water pump. I like it. My alternator, p.s. pump & a/c brackets fit it well. You have to be careful, some of the China cast pumps don't fit accessory brackets well.

 

was the eldelbrock a direct replacement(meaning every thing fit)?

 

Yes, direct replacement. Everything fit perfectly.

 

where did you order yours from?

 

At the time I found the best price at Jegs. I bought it back in the summer last year. Just shop around online.

 

yeah will do thanks for the info, quick question are you running headers if so could you recommend which ones would be good to get

 

I'm running Stan's Tri-y headers. I like them they fit well and are well made. I did have to clearance the frame slightly on the passenger side. My other choice would be Sanderson Headers. These are both shorter in design and do well on a truck. HiHoSilver has a great right up on installing his Sandersons in the 1967-1972 forum. You can run a stock starter with either of those two sets of headers. These are not the cheapest choice but I feel they are well made.

 

No, not chrome, but it is being repo'd and upgraded as well
