Hoping there's someone who has suggestions based on experience here... rather than drop tons of $$$ on the correct Carter fuel pump, water pump, cast crank pulley, radiator, shroud, fan and clutch for my early '67 I want to get it running and driving with new/alternate parts that will function well.  Not real concerned about looking stock, since the missing hood and polished velocity stacks will sort of give it away anyways.  Eventually I will collect all the correct stuff, but not at this time.  So... any suggestions for sourcing decent aftermarket parts like radiators, shrouds, fans, crank pulley, water pump, and also a fuel pump?
Again I do plan to eventually find and install the correct items down the road... but not now.  Need to get this rig running and driving first.  Thanks in advance!

Any good local auto parts in your area. We have found that the ma and pa store's that still use catalogs are the best

Buena suerte or good luck and enjoy the ride

I use Edelbrock Victor Series water pumps with 8,000 rpm rated plastic flex fan with stock radiator shroud. Would also suggest an oil cooler if not equipped. The fuel pump would also be an Edelbrock, as they use 3/8" fittings in lieu of 1/4" NPT on Carter pumps. Only issue with the Edelbrock pump is the polished finish, so I scuffed it and now it is not as noticeable.
