Skip can put whatever pulleys you want on. It would be best if
you can supply the pulleys, new pulleys are about $30.00 each.
The guys that did their own still have the stock impellers and
don't get the better cooling benefit of almost tice the coolant
circulating through the system. It's not just a simple rebuild
job to install the turbine impellers. The body of the pumps are
machined in the lathe to make a 22% seat for the turbine
impeller. When the pump is assembled a close tolerance
clearance is maintained between the impeller and the new
seat. This is how more flow is produced compared to the old
paddle wheel type impeller just sitting in water spinning it's
wheel and pumping air.. He also installs a hard SS shaft and
modern seals. Plus you can not get a better guarantee
anywhere. G.M.
