    Hey guys and gals! New to the forum here. I got 2 Supercharged 3800's on trade. One needs a water pump and the other has a hole in the block. May sell the S/C or keep for parts... Meanwhile, the good engine I will be putting into my sandrail next year. Wondering if anyone knows who does chroming or custom airbrushing. Want to spice it up a bit while its on the engine stand. Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to GPF. In order to R&R that water pump, you need to loosen both yet remove only the top power steering pump bolt; accessible with an extension through the pulley slots, then push it to the side while you remove/thread in the annoying bolt. I wish I knew that before I started a side job on a Le Sabre.

    Welcome!

    Have you already started your sandrail build? It sounds like fun.

    Sandrail is already built. Just converting to long travel suspension and swapping to one of these motors
