They make a 55 GPM electric pump; however, they state it's only suitable to be used as a booster pump; not as an engine's primary water pump.
100 GPM is 1-1/2 gallons per SECOND!!!...

Maybe I'm naive!!...I DON'T see a radiator capable of flowing 1-1/2 gallons per SECOND!!!.
For that matter I don't believe a FULLY OPENED 351 Cleveland thermostat would/could allow 1-1/2 gallons per second!!!...Mark
