Ken,

The web site mentioned something about slight modifications to that pump 
if used on a Cleveland.  Did you have to do anything to it when used 
with the 351C specific block plate?

The original recirculation passage is covered, so you need to do something different for warm up.  Maybe a PWM controller (talk to Dave Londry about that).

So it's better than a good mechanical pump below 3,500, and pumps less above 3,500, so it's not the hot setup if you want to run an open road race at 5,000 RPM, but you can run two remote pumps in parallel and move plenty of coolant.
