FWIW, Ford lists a 55 gallon flow-rate belt-driven pump for their current OHC Cobras so I'd guess that's a MINIMUM flow. I've held a plastic-cased Meziere in-line pump in my hands; be prepared to pay around $350....heavy little beast, and you may have to call Meziere as most requesters are only window-shopping, so web or catalogue updates are low priority. THe pump might even be experimental.... IMHO, there's cheaper, less complicated ways to alter the size of a cockpit hump than an electric water pump. But one thing that would be interesting is to use a Meziere in-line or their radiator tank-mount unit as an aux-pump along with a stock belt-driven pump. These would be used for low engine speeds where the Pantera needs more water flow. Above 2000 rpms, a belt driven pump works just fine. The one Pantera I've seen with a Mezier engine-mounted pump had to alter some brackets etc under the hump to make it all fit. He made it to 'Vegas from L.A in '07 with a lightly modified engine, with water temps around 200-220F or about the same as stock. Dunno what would've happened if the engine was putting out more power- which equals more heat.
