Chris, there is a guy on Long Island (Arthur Gould in Kings Park NY is the name of the company I believe) he is an excellent rebuilder, very reasonable and owns a 70 396 SS Nova to boot. I have his number in my office, can post it here if nobody gets it to you prior. SULLY

Chris, they do excellent work. I had mine done there as well as some friends. Make sure you insure the pump before shipping it out to them just in case some mishap happens while in transport.. They will usually tell you that when you call them..

Chris - What do "better features for performance usage" entail?

Will Arthur do performance upgrade modifications?
I thought he was strictly stock components?

[Mr. Chevy]

Rick, Arthur Gould will add a higher flowing capacity fan inside the water pump if you tell them to..

Is there a down side to doing this modification?

[Mr. Chevy]

No, not that I know of.. From what I was told it will just push a greater volume of water/coolant through the system... You may want to ask them about it..
