I have an engine stamped E 383 then 11 18 HP at the bottom. The intake is dated 11 1? 68 can't read the 1 number very easy. I don't have the water pump housing so that is why I am asking this question. The rest of the motor is all original. I want to find a replacement pump housing before I rebuild the engine. I found an 11 2 pump housing so would that be Good ?? Thanks for the info guys. I have another 383 I will be doing next so this info will help me on that motor also. Thanks, David David,you have the original intake with a date of 11 1 68 and you found a waterpump housing with a date of 11 2 68. I would use it.Based on the date of the intake,there is no way anyone could question the fact that the pump housing date is out of the "date window".Just my thought.
