Last one for now. more to follow tomorrow. i found the water pump doesn't sit flush to the housing. the flange on the pump is too tall and needs a little work to make it fit. no problem, i'll handle that and post a few more pictures as things progress.

Here's a few more progress pic's the water pump wouldn't sit inside the timing cover properly. I ended up chamfering the flange on the water pump (which was too tall to begine with) and then taking .100 off of it on the belt sander.

Basically I ended up doing the same thing with the intake manifold. I didn't want to take any chances with it since it was a used piece. It's all clean now inside and out.

about the mis-match on water pump,is that a LA timing cover with a magnum water pump? I know the LA t-cover will swap over to the magnum block and vis-versa. the last gasket set I had I noticed the t-cover gasket was the same for both blocks. 1 bolt hole is different location.IIRC water pump gasket was 2 different styles and looked like they would not swap. so would a little machine work be the fix for mixing the LA/magnum WP and t-covers?
