65 Valiant swap 273 to a 360

Is there a difference in 360 water pumps? ... Too bad the 273 timing chain cover and water pump won't swap onto the 360! Thanks, Litz
The water pump bolts to the timing cover, not the block, though some bolts do pass all the way thru into the block as I recall. There are ~4 different timing covers for LA engines and I think all will bolt to any LA engine (I posted photos years ago). Indeed, the 5.2/5.9L Magnum timing covers may fit, but no need to go there. I don't think motor-home water pumps are any different than cars. I think there are only 2 types, the steel one (~1970 down) and the aluminum one. The lower radiator hose is on different sides. The aluminum one puts the fan connection ~1" further out, which causes issues w/ pulleys and radiator. You also need to consider the crankshaft damper since I recall thicknesses vary between 273 and 360. Also, read up on crank balancing. I recall most/all 360's had cast cranks and were externally balanced via the damper, so might not be able to swap. The 273 dampers also had 1 offset pulley hole. Even staying w/ the same engine and year, pulleys varied w/ accessories so can always take finagling.
