You see that in a 37 year-old Ford publication. That statement was valid for the then available versions of this pump. That was not referring to the entirely different, newly available Stewart pump.

Apples and oranges.

I disagree Prof.Larry. Both of those impeller designs are still being used in current production pumps. Therefore the results will very likely still be the same I would suspect.

And as far as speed up the circulation through the radiator, that depends on which radiator you have. If you have the stock radiator faster flow through it isn't necessarily a good thing.

It could get your hot water back to the engine quicker...true. Wink

If you have a revised design that partitions the circulation through the radiator then it might help.

Of course coulda, shoulda, woulda, isn't very scientific. Any scientist worth his own salt will post supporting data.

I'll reserve my judgement until I see it.

My reaction to the horsepower drain is simple. To go from 3 hp at below 5,000 to 6 hp above 5,000 really isn't a big deal to me.

Those 200mph runs down to the 711 to pick up a Mega Millions before it's too late have kinda gotta stop for me anyway.

Of course I have to wait for the CBO to return a report on their analysis of the subject. Then we can debate on whether or not illegal aliens will or will not benefit from the change.

Of course that all depends on what the meaning of the word is, is. Big Grin
