Get a new replacement pump for your 350 if you plan on using the pulleys and accessories from it.

No different brands. Aftermarket?

The factory water pumps get the job done. If you keep it stock the non AC water pump casting number is 408328 for 1971-72. It is the same part number for 350 and 455.

All of the aftermarket aluminum pumps I found were listed as 6" length pumps.

Well -- i guess youre on your own -- here is a chart that lists all 3 different lengths being a use on 1971 350 engines. Actually i have not been able to fine the exact shaft length for the 130-1260 today - so you need to verify it is the one that will match your pulleys.
i actually i am using a pulley set off a 73 350 on this pump on my 400 in a 67.

I just found where the GMB 130-1260AL pump has hub height of 5.95" so it wont work on your motor if you need the 5.09 one -- unless you get a set of pulleys that match it?
