Default My new engine!

Anyways I finally have my engine nearing to its finish, in the car built all the way to the lower intake. I am now at the water pump and I went to replace the gasket and saw it was all rusted inside, should I get a new one it still rotated great. Also should I get a aftermarket fuel pump for my new setup: 306 w/ aluminum TW heads, GT-40 intake, E303, 24lbs, 65tb, 73maf. Also anyone know how much a tune is going to cost.

If you have the time and the extra cashto blowgo ahead and replace the water pump and the fuel pump (255 lph walboro).If the water pump is rusted inside like you said I would definentallygo ahead and replace it. They're both bound tocrap out anyways.
