    Many used items in our pictures have been cleaned and/or bead blasted prior to being photographed to show condition and detail. 

    The item you receive, in most circumstances, will be pulled from the donor car and shipped to you without being cleaned. 

    We do not retake pictures each time a used item sells. Pictures are a good indicator of what you will receive, but not all used parts age the same. On high dollar parts, email us and we can send a few pictures of the actual part available.

    "Core" Items:
     If we use the word "Core" in the title of the product, the item has been deemed rebuildable, but has not been rebuilt.  The item you receive, in most circumstances, will be pulled from the donor car and shipped to you without being cleaned.

    Small block Ford water pump core, suitable for rebuilding. This version has a casting number of C8AE-J. Found on many Ford 289, 302, and 351W engines from 1968-69. These do not have casting dates, and plan on sending it to a vendor that specializes in water pump rebuilding. In all likelihood, the rear cover, heater tubes, and impeller will need replacing. Occasionally they have the original non-HiPo cast iron impeller, but not always. See our other core water pump listings for other casting numbers.

    Dead Nuts On 510-903-1059, in Pennsylvania, can rebuild most Ford water pumps. They have new impellers, backing plates and hardware along with bearings, seals, and shafts. They also have HiPo and Boss 302 impellers for an additional cost. Ask for Jack.
