Anyone running a electric wator pump???
 
I was think about putting one on my 302 and was wondering what the pros and cons were?? :eek:

Why? The pumps that Ford put in millions of 302's seem to work pretty good. 302's need alot of things mostly hp and torque but you came up with a electric water pump really?

Pros- reduces a minor (very minor) parasitic HP/TQ loss from the crank running the pump.

Cons- if the fuse blows or something goes wrong with the electrical system your motor is toast.

I'd think the Cons have it.

If you're racing, the HP/TQ lost from the water pump is important, however, you're driving a truck, not a race truck.
