I have a pair of original CH-350 (454 cid Crusaders) with the belt driven sherwood raw water pumps. The pulley on one pump is badly corroded and I cannot find a replacement. I am interested in converting to the crank or front mounted raw water pumps due to the pulley reason and more importantly to improve maintainability of the pumps. I have read the threads on this, but see a need to consolidate a single thread with the instructions for those of us with these fine engines.
Photos and instructions are welcome, please! Thanks for your help!

- What is the best pump for this use? Are there other options?
- What do I need to check on before proceeding?
- How do I make sure I have the correct pulleys and harmonic balancer?
- How much clearance in front of the engine is required?
- Do I really need a bracket for the pump?
- What bronze fittings are required?
- Are there any modifications to the hose arrangements on the engine side needed?
- What are any things to be careful of?
