For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/avlLI No, the water pump on a 360 (5.9) is driven by the serpentine belt, not the timing chain, and there is no reason to mess with the timing chain. A lot of in line 4's are set up where the timing BELT drives the pump (Chrysler's 2.0 and 2.4 engines come to mind) but the 5.9 is just a fancied up 360 LA series engine that Chrysler has been building (and improving) since like 1970

The cheapo water pump from oreillys is $46, the higher end one is around $70. As far as labor, Mitchell OnDemand calls for 2 hours flag rate time to change it out. You'll probably be looking at at least 1 gallon of antifreeze as well for what will be lost changing it out, and I would recommend changing the thermostat when you change the water pump. The 5.9 uses a timing chain, which I wouldnt recommend replacing, seeing as the vehicle has that low of miles on it. I'm not sure how much labor costs in your area, but the shop I work at charges $75 per flag rate hour. So if we were to do it, taxes and everything it would be right around $250. If you live in a big city, you'll probably be expecting to pay around $100 a hour for labor at a reputable shop. Good luck and hope this helps.
