Thanks JW. I was looking at water pump repair kits at Max and there is no picture for what is included in the 38-42 kit, so I can't tell what all it takes to repair it. 40-42 has a picture and 35-37 does as well. the bearing on the 40-42 kit looks like what I would expect to see when taking this thing apart, but I did not see any external locking pin to hold the bearing in place. hopefully Terrill will rebuild it, if not i'll try my best on my own. it is noisy and leaks.

I will be sure to use proper gaskets and not block that hole off with silicone like they did.

yes the pulley are different to accept the smaller v belt. good eye. looks to be good there. no idea the shape of the balancer rubber (I'm assuming it has rubber bonding it together like on the 55) no problems from it that I can tell anyways.

I don't know if the fan is original or not either. its a 4 blade and fits fine...so I guess it really doesn't matter.

I will look to see if steel has rubber for the front mount.

I'm sure the trans mounts are toast as well.

stainless will be all over this motor when I get to replacing bolts. you know me and stainless.

yes I did know about the jacketed bolts...learned that on my 70 dart. thanks for the reminder!

do you think the backing plate is 39 as well? or is that 37? also noticed no small hole in the thermostat...I guess circulation hole would make up for that not being there?
