Thanks TX. I have finally done some "figuring out".
It's picture time. I've used the water pump back plate to attempt to understand what I'm working with.

The engine I removed was a '38 or newer with a '37 water pump buggered on to it. The 2 arrows point to the difference in mounting. The bolt that went into the bottom hole held the pump in place without going through a hole in the water pump housing.

The block that is going in is a '37 or older block. The plate lines up now but there is an additional hole. Does anybody know what the purpose of the hole is?
