'57 DeSoto hemi water-pump

Really -- no 52 - 56 will fit ??? Or has anyone found they could just do a little custom engineering (grinding) to make it fit !!! 57desoto Posted 2016-01-23 6:49 AM (#502061 - in reply to #501973) Subject: RE: '57 DeSoto hemi water-pump Expert Posts: 1488 Location: New Castle PA I haven't bought one in a few years, but they were never real expensive if you got one from other than some of the "crooks" who gouge you for top dollar. If you're having trouble finding one at a price that suits you, perhaps having yours rebuilt is an option.
