electric water pump
I thought about putting an electric water pump on my 350. How do run the heater hose ? On a mechanical water pump there's a heater hose outlet on the pump, but from all the pictures I've looked at I don't see any on the electric ?

There are a few things i would convert to electric,,like,,,fuel pump,,or even an engine cooling fan,,but i don't think you could beat the flow rate of a mechanical water pump,,,unless the electric pump had some way of adjusting flow rate with engine RPM,,,i guess it could be done,,but why would you want to??"I don't know everything and i like it that way"

Most electric water pumps don't have the flow rate to cool a street engine.Jack

Check out the mezier electric water pump. As I remember it puts out around 5 times a stock water pump at idle, made of anodized aluminum with stainless steel shafts. But it is expensive. Do a search for it

unless this is a race car... dont put an electric water pump on your car... electricity and water never go along together.... and thats a pretty crucial part of your system for an electrical gremlin to hit... if you fuse it, then you're risking a fuse putting it out, or a bad voltage regulator or a million other things.... I've always considered mechanical on the most crucial systems, electrical on the less
I can't remember a singular event that triggered this nuttiness so I'll say it was being born. After we moved from Kansas to Chicago (I was 5 then) we'd drive back down each summer to visit the...
