Would a Rover P5B be able to use the, MGB V8 water pump? I see them on e bay. The reason I ask is because an associate of mine owns Brown & Gammons (MG ROVER) and he says they are not compatible??  |

Morning Glenn I think the depth of the pump is different to squeeze it in  Type 2A (GWP 310) small footprint, alloy top hat type mechanical fan connection boss. These early type pumps can normally be found on the Rover P5, P6 & original MGB V8s, early Morgan Plus 8s, and perhaps some TVRs, all Pre - 1976 models. However, you may also find this type of pump on many kit and custom cars, due the shorter nose length allowing ease of fitting to V8s with front end clearance issues. Type 2B (QCP 2095) small footprint with output shaft for slide on type viscous coupling and fan. These later type water pumps can normally be found on the earlier Rover SD1s (non EFI), Morgan Plus 8s, Triumph TR8s, TVR V8s, and many more kit and custom cars from 1976. It is also worth mentioning that some companies such as Morgan used this pump with the nose cut shorter to avoid the front cross member. Type 2C (GWP 2149) small footprint, thread on type viscous coupling and fan. These Water pumps are mostly used on EFi (fuel injection) type engines (1982 onwards) normally found on the later Rover SD1s (EFi) type, Morgan Plus 8s, Triumph TR8, TVR, and many kit and custom cars from 1982. |

MGB V8 and the P5B and P6 pump all have the same part number. I would imagine in that case they are all the same  |
