The book I have doesn't list water pump numbers. I guess its a maintenance replacement part?
A company in Texas rebuilds them. at least it has the penstar emblem.

 

[dmoore]

So original pump rebuilt by outside source

Engine is painted. Put a run or two. Added a little sand. Makes it look factory

Little bit of bling

Original valve covers are hard to find...

Air cleaner was the hardest for me. $$$

 

[Jim914]

Valve covers are new unused. Do have the chrome air cleaner. Its almost perfect.
Hey guys if you see something that doesn't look right shout out. Trying to do this project right.
Thanks

I have a 64 Streetwedge car and just wondered if anyone knew if these motors had a insulation pad under the intake like the 67 440 had? I also did not have a windage tray did they start in 67 also?

1965 Coronet yes they have insulation under intake

Looks like valve covers are on backwards chimney and tapered end front on drivers side rear on passengers.

So I guess wiring harness runs down the driver's valve cover?

Are the pads installed before or after painting of the engine?

Engine harness runs down passenger side valve cover.

I also don't believe the motor mount bolts get painted , that's picky but

you asked.
