Crusader 327ci question about water pump

New to the forum and I've searched but have not found an answer to my specific question. Please forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere.

I have twin CS250s circa 1965 with the original Sherwood E35 raw water pumps. The port pump needs a major rebuild kit, and the stbd needs a minor rebuild kit plus a shaft. All in, I'm looking at almost as much in rebuild parts as it would cost to switch to the Johnson FB6-9s. I was ready to pull the trigger, but found compatibility notes that specificy:
Applications: Chevy V8 engines 305/350/454 CID 5.0 / 5.7 / 7.4L / Ford 302/351 CID 5.0 / 5.8L engines
  • Must be used with stamped steel crankshaft pulley
  • Will not work properly with cast pulley
Since my engines are 327ci, 5.3L, I'm concerned that these are not the correct pump for my application. Is this correct? Is there a different crankshaft mounted pump that fits these engines?

Many thanks.

Joe
