Hey John,
Long time, no speaky! Hope all is well at your end... re your pump question, can't answer the comparability query with the other motors, but when I overhauled my 245, I checked out the water pump question(s) fairly extensively and it seemed there were a lot of old pumps out there whose tolerances had eroded past the point of pumping to spec. That pump has been reproed and the NEW replacement is only $150. I elected to go with one of those and so far, knock on wood, it has performed very well, quiet, no leaks. And with the modern re-cored rad, she sure stays cool, even in this heat. Just my two bits worth.... Chris.
