electric water pumps

we have a bucket with a 351w and c-5 trans. i am thinking about going to a electric water pump. does anyone have any experience with this? from all i have read, there are a lot of pro's and not too many cons.

thanks.

Sorry , no experience , curious though as to why you want to change ????.....

PovtinGuy has been running one for many years. PM him I’m sure he has some words of wisdom and very helpful.

ORF scores. I've been running a remote electric water pump for 25 years. Mine is actually a Jabsco marine bilge pump once sold by Art Morrison. Here it is in the bed of my T:


Today there are many electric pumps available. A nice feature is the flow is constant and doesn't depend on engine speed. And I wired mine (and the fans) to run for a minute after shutdown to draw heat out of the engine.

I had one on my first T , I had Tuned port injection, Elect fuel pump, Elect fan, and the Elect water pump, The Electric water pump would pull a lot of amps, So at a stop light with everything running , the alternator would not keep up with the demand, I ended up going back to a belt driven water pump. Hope this helps !!

Check out Dedenbear ,PRP, and Meziere for electric pumps. And Summit (house brand on sale right now) and Jegs. Typical amps is 6 to 8. My T is electric everything and the alternator runs off the driveshaft, so I'm not charging if I'm not moving! I use the Optima yellow-top battery for deep discharge and quick charging.
