Hey William
Shipping is very expensive these days...
To ship a t-shirt from the US cost about $24... and then you'll need to pay the custom on top of that...
Check ebay you may have a better deal on shipment and the pump, but it will be still VERY expensive to ship to the EU
Some of my friends from overseas order on rockauto for their "modern" US cars, if I remember well, and it seems that they are not complaining about shipment.
No sure if they'll have the parts though.
Good luck

Hi,

Thanks for your replies. I have found a couple of options. A new one, and a rebuild one for the same price. What would you choose?

Many thanks

Chances are the rebuilt is an original made in the USA pump and the new one is made in China.

There is a business near me that rebuilds water pumps. He has a good reputation. Here's a link: Home (water-pump-rebuilders.com)

I have them Brand New --- No Core Required --- but I am at Fall Carlisle and HERSHEY these two weeks ----
and usually, I see my sweetheart Belen and her husband Fernando Alvarez from Oviedo, Spain --- but, because of flight restrictions this year, they sadly, can not come over here.... they could have possibly picked one up from me and brought it back -- but NOT this year ....

Can send one to you, after October 15th.... Craig.....

I responded to your P.M. on this site.... I am at HERSHEY this week.... We can do it through e mail / the P.M. on this site....
A phone call is not required --- as I see that you are from Spain...

We can do this from this site --- at the tail end of next week, I will bring one to the Post Office and get you a shipping rate...

Put your address in the P.M. that we have going, and I will give you the total....

The Great News is that mine are Brand NEW with
NO CORE Required / NO Return Shipping / especially
*** CRITICAL. *** for you..

Yours, Craig......

NEWS FLASH - Speedway and Falcon Global both on ebay seem to have stock on the reproductions now. Still nothing at Summit Racing. Don't know on Fusick.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/14298721894...97.m4902.l9144

https://www.ebay.com/itm/38348315207...97.m4902.l9144

I'll vouch for the repros - I bought one and installed it when they rolled them out and still working great today years later, belt at correct tension. Also some Cardone expensive looking rebuilds seen on ebay, people attempting to cash in on the shortage of these pumps.

Bought it! It has been the best option of all I have found. Thank you very much indeed for your help. Without your help through this forum would have been very difficult to keep them rolling!

Thanks to all!

William
