Does anyone know if the water pump for a 1960 401 Nailhead was originally made of cast aluminum? The one I just removed is aluminum, but the replacement is cast steel and a lot heavier. Thanks!

I can't answer your question but a recent pump replacement on my '60 401 was cast aluminum.

Can't answer this one either, I have changed some water pumps, only one that was cast iron was for a 1934 Olds. Other than that never seen any iron ones. 60s, 70s or 80s engines.

Jan,

Both OEM pumps as well as NOS replacements were aluminum.

Interesting. The only one I can currently source is one in cast iron.
