454 crusader question

[Persistence]

Hi all, have a '94 31' with 454's. looks like a raw water pump is bad on port motor. Local shop had it in stock, my buddy went to pick it up and found its not the right 'proprietory' part. Does this make sense? I guessnthey found one for about double the money in florida. Im in boston.

He's going back to see if it can be rebuilt.

Thanks
