Water pumps were installed before the engine was shipped but after the build date was stamped. Conceivable? Yes. Probable? No.

I am looking for a date correct water pump. My stamped engine assembly date is 5/18. I've located a water pump dated 5/19/66. Were the water pumps put on at the time of engine assembly or a later date? Conceivable that a 5/18 assembled engine could have a 5/19 water pump on it? Thanks, -Krister
