Does anyone know a reliable shop in the Cleveland area that rebuilds '63 SBC water pumps?
Thanks

Bill Mock is 'the man' but I don't know his location... If its the '608' pump they are fairly common and you might find one already rebuilt but beware -- all rebuilds are NOT the same! Someone here will Bill's contact info I'll bet...

Thanks guys. I talked with Bill tonight and my water pump is on its way with a life time warranty.

I had a pump rebuilt by Bill Mock - it started leaking - contacted Bill Mock and he stated they had changed there process and using new parts and therefore would not honor the lifetime warranty - I even had the receipt and everything - so buyer beware of LIFETIME WARRANTY.....

How long ago did you get your pump? He said it had a life time warranty. SO we'll see what happens and I will keep everyone informed.

Hard to imagine, Mock is a huge restorer of pumps for the NCRS zealots and did a couple for me. I've never heard of a complaint before..

Arthur Gould rebuilds both water pumps and fuel pumps. He does an excellent job, and uses only the finest of parts. He rebuilt my #326 pump about 7 years ago, and it is still going strong......http://arthurgouldrebuilders.com/

Arthur did my original 609 water pump. Nice job and quick turnaround.

Just had Gould do my 59 wp last week, $90 plus $15 shipping

It shouldn't be an issue how long ago you had a water pump rebuilt if indeed it really had a "Lifetime" warranty....I am speaking from personal experience not something I heard. I talked to Bill Mock in person on the phone and he refused to repair my water pump - just the facts - not bashing.......this issue came up a while back with another forum user and Bill contacted me via email but nothing happened.

I also had a similar situation with a set of brake calipers whereas they offered "Lifetime" warranty on the calipers but the company was sold and new company would not honor previous owners warranty even though they were still advertising under same business name with "Lifetime" warranty....
