    1952 buick water pump

    Was wondering if anyone has any old parts books and can tell me if the 263 and 320 take the same pump for 51-52?

    Thanks

    I can give you the part numbers out of the Buick parts book, which are different.
    1950 thru '53 series 40 =1341508
    1946 thru '50 large series (320 engine) 1346870

    I have never tried this swap, but I feel sure it will not work. The 1941-1950 series 40 (248 engine), pump is the same as the 320 engine, but the 263 is different.
    If I am wrong, someone please let me know.

    Gary,

    I knew the 50 and earlier 320 pumps were different. But in my aftermarket catalog it shows 51-53 pumps all bein the same..with the straight 8's
    Any ideas on the 51 and later straight 8 pumps?

    248 vs 263 Different! 263 the same.
