Water Pump

Guest

I'm in the process of replacing my original cast iron water pump with a aluminum one.Is there any one pump thats better than any other one? I don't want to purchase one and then find out that I should have got a different one because of one thing or an-other.Thank you for your'e time..

I can only comment on the Weiand pump that has been satisfactory on my '72L for 13 years now. In my opinion, an aluminum 351-C water pump should have a back-plate on the impeller and a port for the warm-up bypass, just in case you live in a real cold climate and want to warm up faster. The Weiand waterpump has neither although I added a stainless backplate for a little more water flow. Weiand also has a thin heater-hose boss that can (and will!) crack if a fitting is overtightened in it.It is fairly cheap, rebuildable and widely used as-is in the Pantera community, though.

I'm using an Edelbrock aluminum pump with the swirl vane impeller and a Robertshaw hi flo 180 deg. thermostat, with this combination works excellent. Noticed a big difference is temp. drop.
