Electric Water pump?

Posted By: blade369 On: 05-10-2009 @ 17:21:32         Reply | Edit
i found this universial electric water pump at summit, http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=MRG-4333

Any one try this and have any opinions about it, or try any other electric water pumps? Just curious because im looking at doing this soon.

I've seen those on cars at the strip, but I'm not sure I'd like to run that on a streetable car. I'm thinking it doesn't move that much water, but the one I'm using rated at 35gph works great!

That kit will be hard to mount on a serpentine setup as the waterpump is used in nearly every possible configuration

Also, where would you put it? Theres not much room

TGO members either convert to V-belt accessories or use an electric pump with an idler pulley

I ran an electric pump on my 383 with a serpintine belt. I took the serpententine brackets off a 4.6L(?) V6 and just skipped the water pump. I did need to do a little homework on my own to find a belt that was the right size.

Id like to see that

4.3's are truck engines and the accessories are high mount which doesnt work for 3rd gen hoods
