Water Pump issues
My water pump was leaking on my 1967 318 engine, when I went to take it off the pump blades were smashed and 3 are gone. The pump blades also carved there way into the pump about an 1/8 of an inch. The pump is replaceable but should I go looking for the fan blades?

Sounds like the bushing that centers/holds the shaft in place is gone. I'd just replace the whole thing with a new high flow unit, especially since the housing was damaged. Archer |
I was going to get a new water pump but should I go through the mess of trying to get the fan blades. And if I should how would go out doing that?

I wouldn't bother. Archer |
New pump.

I Agree.... Don't be to concerned about the blades.... New pump for sure.... Also Look at the Timing Cover and make sure it is not damaged.
|
Timing cover is damaged, not as bad as the waterpump though. Its just a 1mm circle in the timing cover.
|
If it's not deap go ahead and use it.

LA water pumps and a used housing are a dime a dozen. A rebuilt water pump comes with a new impeller
