Big block and small block use a different size bolt circle. Won't interchange. Your water pump looks like correct short pump at a glance.

Hi EM,
I know that there 2 different p.s. pump pulleys for the small block motors in the '69's, it
just depends on whether you have a.c. or not. I f you have a.c. you use the steel pulley
and if you don't you use the cat iron 3 spoke pulley. Do you have the AIM for your '68? If
you do it will give you the correct numbers for the pulleys for your configuration.

Just for reference here are a couple of pictures:
1. First is the harmonic balancer on the front of 327, and below that--
2. Second is the belt arrangement for the Power Steering and Alternator belts on the driver side.

Note the cast iron pulley for the Power Steering Pump (3834720).
