During my little strip down, I ordered a new water pump to fit. Unfortunately iv been sent the wrong bloody one. Can you advise what one i need, or what year to order from? The one i've been sent bolts into the holes around the top and on the bottom left hand side, but the bottom of the water pump doesn't stretch down far enough. Its noticeably smaller than the one that came off. BLOCK  Pump Comparison   Thank you.

Im looking back on Summit now and think I may have ordered one for a 54, and needed 55 and up? Were they different?

Yes, the 54 239 is a smaller. From 272 up they are generally the same. Don't know how the Merc motors played into that, or some,of the heavy trucks. But I'd say you need the 272 up pump.

That should be the correct one. If it's going on a truck isn't the shaft diameter where the fan goes on larger then pass cars? They are also making new ones, I have one on mine but only time will tell how good they are.

Without at least dropping the pan, it can be really hard to tell which motor you've got. Let alone what it was bored to when rebuilt. But all 55 birds came with 292's. 272's are fine moors also. And beware, all y blocks with the pan and heads on are Thunderbird 312's. And ran perfect when pulled.

Your engine is not a T-Bird engine. 5/8" shaft = car water pump. 3/4" shaft = truck water pump. The pump and pulley assembly will interchange but the pumps by themselves will not.

Correct sorry...The engine number is B9AE. For some reason when identifying it last week something stuck in my head about 54-55 T-Bird engine. On checking again, its 59-60 cars and trucks.
