[DeTomaso] Water pumps

[shawkins777 at comcast.net]

Not an electric pump but I'm running a Howard Stewart high flow aluminium mechanical pump.

Any leads on electric water pump manufacturers? Tried and proven for 351C's?

For awhile they were available for the 351C in 180 and 192-degree versions; the 180 supply dried up a couple of years ago and they have been on perpetual backorder . I just looked and now the 192-degree version is no longer listed either. :<(

I had a no-name pump with a custom-modified impeller from Dennis Quella on my engine, and although it worked fine for years, when I took it apart to rebuild it as a stroker I found that water had eaten away at the soft aluminum inside and it was on the verge of breaking through. Actually, I only learned of that after the fact when the engine builder told me he had repaired it with bondo . When the motor broke shortly after it was rebuilt, I took it upon myself to spring for a new Edelbrock water pump.
