Water Pump

[WhiteOnGreen]

Last weekend has been a disaster, water pump fail and fan broke the radiator
Today pull the water pump, it´s a new Milodon but the bearing colapsed  leaving the shaft without supports.
When I was checking the pump, I have noticed that in the casting read GMB japan.
I know GMB is a North America Company but, do they make for Milodon? I bought in Summit Milodon water pump

   oh noo , sorry to see this  , thats a bummer 
i have the same pump  from Milodon , had GMB japan cast into it ( i ground  it off before i painted it orange)) , got it from mancini 3 years -ish ago

perfect timing.  I was just thinking that of all the spare replacement parts I have, I don't have a water pump on hand and was about to order one in the next day or so.  Looks like I will just get one of the standard cast iron housing ones from an over the counter parts store.

i ran the milodon pump that had the gmb cast into it for prolly 10 years. it was still fine but i just replaced it when i changed to the aluminum housing. i wouldnt hesitate running another one.

 , Is time for choose a new fan and clutch fan, loking in thr forum and a lot of people install a Hayden Jaguar clutch fan, but for the choice fan I like the factory look and I saw 5, 6, 7 blades fan. Which is better? Engine is a 383 HP A/C
About clutch, termal or mechanic?

5, 6, 7 blades fan. Which is better? Engine is a 383 HP A/C

The one that moves most air so look for cfm.

I have a few 7 blade fans, one recently powder coated and two good fan clutches, one short shaft and one long shaft (I think one of them is even brand new).

I don't know the fan size off hand.

PM me if your interested.

I'm running non-thermal fans on all my cars...those move more air at lower rpm's than a thermal style
