Hey Guys,
I was looking to improve the cooling on my 440 a bit. It is all stock, so I know the stock cooling system is more than sufficient. I have a 26" 3 core radiator, shroud, and a 7 blade fan with a viscous clutch. I have everything stock internally with the motor (including carb and ignition), and the car runs fine. Just on hot humid days the coolant temperature gets up there. The cooling system still handles it, but it gets me slightly worried.
I'm looking into taking a few parts off of the motor for other reasons and will have the water pump unobstructed at that point. Plus, I think the gasket around the water pump is starting to leak.
The current pump is a stock replacement one, which leads me to my question.
Can anyone recommend a slightly higher performance (aluminum and/or high flow) water pump that has the stock dimensions? Including neck thickness and taper so I can retain the correct bolts that go onto the water pump pulley?
Thanks in advance!
