Waterpumps for SBC are common stock item at any good Auto parts store. Nothing special about that Iroc part.

Nothing special in the US, but overhere it is and cost is approx. $ 300.--, Classic Industries used to be a reliable supplier. I will check some parts store in the US. Thanx.

Sorry, didn't note your location. Try Summit or Jegs and they should ship overseas.

They carry everything from a very cheap rebuilt stock pump, to a very expensive electric race pump.

If you can afford it, this pump is proably the best for the application:

Shipping overseas is pretty expensive, a few years ago it was much cheaper, a pretty severe increase in my opinion. But since a few months a friend of mine has to order beverages and food for business reason from the US several times a year and he offeres free space in his container.

Thanks for giving me the advice for the Stewart pump, the same I was looking for, did not know the manufacturer yet, but sounds good to me. Does it mean GM won't produce parts for 3rd gens anymore, or is it a decision of Classic Industries ? Btw. my original pump still works but my mechanic thinks it won't be wasted money to have 1 in stock overhere. He also says that parts like the original one are not produced in same quality (solid built in the USA) anymore. Does Stewart produce in the USA ?

Hope my English is good enough, anyway thanks again and keep on driving American cars. I love my baby.

parts like your waterpump, that is a part most folks buy at the parts store which isnt factory, its a remanufactured copy or some its a rebuilt orig. those part depending on what part store you go to can be the same quality as the orig or worse but not by much. IMO a NAPA brand would do the trick just fine.

There are several brands of water pumps listed for your 1985 model Camaro small block in the current Classic Industries catalog. I know this thread is a little old, but I am curious as to what made you think it is no longer available. You can PM me if you would like.
