Got a 440 Source passenger side water pump housing with hose. Lets you keep your factory small block radiator when swapping to a big block. Little grimy, but nothing wrong with it. Make me an offer.

Wiper Motor Interchange

My wiper motor fragged. There isn’t a later model one that is smaller/lighter that will interchange by chance is there? Thanks.
