any parts from 87 to 93 for the 5.0 will interchange

will the 84 pump go on the 89

superbean · February 6th, 2009, 11:53 AM

just use the 89 pump? and stop being cheap and get a 15$ water pump?

The 84 water pump will be a standard rotation and the 89 will be a reverse rotation. If your keeping the 84 V belt and pullies, you need to stay with a standard rotation pump and yes it will bolt to the 89 engine. I would buy a new pump however.

that was the problem, i had nothing on the 89 engine. so i was hoping on useing everything from the 84 including the water pump.

for a cheap up grade look at the late 70's or early 80's 351w. They had a heavy duty cooling option, aluminum higher volume factory water pump.

and as stated above, using vbelts needs to be pre serpentine waterpump

this is odd. my 84 engine has a sepentine belt on her. what direction should the pump be turning in. this will really screw with my head

badshoe · February 6th, 2009, 03:24 PM

Is your water pump pulley grooved or smooth?

86er · February 6th, 2009, 04:00 PM

serpentine w/p were counterclock wise

hopper · February 9th, 2009, 08:33 AM

yes this is counter clockwise, and the pully is smooth, this must be a later engine then i though. however looking at the fireing order it is not an HO,
any suggests

Someone may have just replaced the water pump with a newer style water pump.

Anyway, any 302-351w style water pump will work on any 265-351w block. You just have to know which way to spin them and what gaskets to get. Also, if you still have a mechanical fan, you want that to be spinning the correct direction as well.

who makes a 265?

hopper · February 9th, 2009, 04:37 PM

now i am confused. so the 84 never came with a sepentine belt, and the pump turned clockwise. however i have a serp belt and a counter clockwise pump.
if he was just to change the pump, would he not have to change all the pully stystem aswell?
