LOOK shiny water pump & T-Stat

Here are a couple of pics. I just had to show them off.

Aluminum water pump for the 200 after I finished polishing it. Yes, it took alot of time!

Another pic of the pump. Notice I didn't go all the way down the neck. I figured the hose would cover it up anyways.

Here is a Tstat I had chromed.

I know this is a dumb question, but is the stock water pump aluminum?

Looks great, by the way...

nope, cast iron

 

[cfmustang]

Where do you get your hands on an aluminum one?

Me likey!

i dunno if there are even ones, but cast iron can be polished like that, you'd need something to seal it with though

They're aluminium, with a stamped impeller. I've got an identical one in the box. The little insignia says "G JAPAN".

Cheers, Adam.

The water pump for a stock early 200 is cast iron. The one I found is from a Fairmont. The Zepher also use a aluminum water pump.

The only problem is that since the cast and aluminum pump is interchangable for all our cars the manufacturer puts whatever they want it the box. So, you might go to the auto parts store with a part number for the Fairmont aluminum pump and when you look in the box it will be a cast pump. So I had to check a few stores until I found an aluminum pump and that was in the box marked for a stock 200.

Addo: When I was checking all these pumps they all seemed to have a stamped impeller. At least I could not tell the difference between the impeller on the cast and aluminum pumps.

I Stock the Aluminum water pumps in either satin or polished. They are 100% new not rebuilt and have a lifetime warranty. They are 42.00 satin or 72.00 polished.
