1977 Rupp Nitro 440 L/C Parts Needed

[wigman25]

I am looking for the following:

- NOS water pump mounting plate for 1977 440 Nitro. This is the cast aluminum piece that the water pump cover, as well as the water pump itself mounts to. Mine is cracked and all the cover bolt holes are stripped out. This is the same piece used on the 340 and 250 L/C as well. I would consider a perfect condition used piece, as long as the bolt hole threads are perfect and there are no cracks.

- NOS Water Pump Cover

- NOS 'RUPP' logo for the cover

Thanks. Wigman

Keith the 77 plate is different than the 76's. So the 250 and 340 won't work. The 77 440 is a beast of its own.

I'm pretty sure that my 77 Water Pump Plate was the same as my 76 but my 77 also had the BWR engine like the 76's had. Therefore, by my thinkin' if yours has the BWR engine a 76 Plate should be the same. However, I do NOT know it all. I did notice a difference between the Chap WP Plates and BWR plates so maybe the 77's used the same as the Chap?? If I had it I'd just weld the cracks/breaks and Helicoil the holes. But I just ride mine and they are NOT showpieces. Craig
