Some notes on the 356. The water pump is available (new) from Max Merritt or Kanter. The 1942 and post-war 356 takes a Carter 531S carburetor, they show up occasionally on e-bay. The pre-war (1940-1941) 356 used a Stromberg carburetor. The 356 used a 5-blade asymmetrical fan. The starter was the heavy-duty gear-reduction style (Auto-Lite Max). Be sitting down when you get a quote for a restored replacement. I bought a spare dual action fuel pump from Arthur Gould a few years ago... don't know if they still have any.
