Do any of you guys run these? Has anyone had any problems with theses? Most of the smaller water pumps say 35gm and some say 50 gpm. This is going to be a street car with some drag action on the weekends. Do you guys think that the 35gpm with a 3 row aluminum radiator and a electric fan will work? I am going to try and run only an alterntor pulley.

I'm running a Mezziere on mine. 35 gpm.... no problems even in the big heat last summer in traffic.

I just don't trust them on a car that you will drive on the street a lot.

To me it's just another electrical part that can fail and if it fails out in the middle of nowhere what will you do

Pushrod, I am looking for one for a sbf, which one have you got(part#) and how much? Why did you not use it? Also what color is it?

QJP I hardly ever go to far from the house(work is only 5 miles), but you do bring up a good point.

Anybody else used these??

Pushrod.... If you can find a place for me that sells just the backing plate, I would take the water pump from you.... I have tried to find it online and cant find anyone that sells just the backing plate... Also, do you have the hose adapter...

Thanks
