273 to 340

Do you think I can use a 273 water pump on the 340 timing cover? I’m planning on using all the pulleys and brackets from the 273, but not the damper.
What year is the 340 you are using? 68/69 will have the timing marks on the same side as your 273. If you are using a later model engine, the 273 water pump makes it difficult to read the timing marks.
