1993 Cobra Registry

I sent my original pump off to;
Arthur Gould Rebuilders
5R Main St.
Kings Park NY 11754

631-269-0093

They did a great job, they bead blasted it as well and they also included the gaskets all for $89.

looks good

Nice!

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great post. Never new there was any place for the average guy to send one off for a rebuild..........not that I ever looked.

Will definitely keep this in mind if I ever have one go south.

Well you can get a repro from china aka ford for around $45 but I just didnt want to go that route.

Just an FYI -

Summit Racing sells the Ford Racing water pump, it's brand new, not rebuilt or refurbished.

Ford Racing Part #: M-8501-C50
Summit Racing Part #: FMS-M-8501-C50
Price (as of 02/10/13): $43.95

I've used these in the past on many 5.0 Mustangs, never an issue and beats buying any "parts stores XYZ brand pumps"... plus, the price is really fair, considering its a brand new Ford Racing water pump.

Just might be something to consider in the future. I'm running the 94/95 Ford Racing water pump on my 94 Cobra after the original failed a few years back, excellent pump AND was Ford cast/Ford part numbers right out of the box.

Thats actually the one I bought and its made in China so I returned it, I wanted to keep it original hence getting the original one rebuilt.

Wow, really?? I guess Ford Racing has changed it's supplier on these, as the last one I bought was still a genuine or original Ford unit (but this was a few years ago).

Just curious, is it the box or casting that now has "Made in China" on it (just for future reference)?

I know the 5.0 "Cobra" upper intakes are sourced out to China now as well, the ones that are supposedly "Ford Racing"...

And they wonder whats wrong with the American Economy.

Here you go

A lot of good info here!

Im working on resealing my timing cover, and was wondering.. whats the best way to store a water pump in the mean time? Currently I have it half way submersed in coolant so the seals dont shrink. Does this sound right?
