I made a aluminum plate that replaces the water pump.
It has 3/4 fittings that go to a eletric water pump.
It was from an idea of Gary Kuhns,David Dalke,& I
machined them.

I have another design The jack shaft pulley to bolt
inplace of the waterpump pulley.Havent tried it out yet.
Plan to on another motor if I ever get enough parts
together to do a build-up.

I will post some pictures if I can find some.

Thanks Randy
 
OK! here is a couple pictures.

First picture waterpump delete plate on a motor.

The second picture shows two plates ,the one on
top has a snout for a jackshaft pulley or acc pulley.
The bottom is just a cover plate to delete the
waterpump.The coolant lines from the electric
waterpump connect to the 3/4''NPT holes.

WOW, I wish i had a motor that looked that good :D

Now on to my million question im sure you knew would follow this.

#1 are you selling this plate?
#2 how much better is a electic pump over stock
#3 have you seen this greatly reduce your temps?

Commens sense tells me this:

The electric pump(insert your pump here) flows much more greatly than the stock water pump, and with more flow better cooling would follow?

Thanks Randy,

#1 NO I do not sell parts for SCs
#2 Most likey not better as far as longjevity.
#3 It can.But it is designed to free up hp only.
#4 Depends on the GPM of flow the pump you buy.

Since you made me dig into my pictures.
Here is a couple side shot of my motor.

THANKS RANDY

Its his design with Gary Kuhns & me.

Thanks Randy
 
I have a Mezeire electric pump on my car. I havent worked on the car since the night before carlisle. My set up is Gary Kuhn's old setup. I had to mount the pump side ways in order to fit it to my car where the stock battery went.
So I had to relocate the battery to the trunk. My car ran hotter after I installed the pump. I still am wondering why this is, but I believe it is due to air in the system, and i have my heater line plugged off and I think that these are the issues with the heat. So i either have to eliminate the heat,which i really dont want to do, or place a Y-fitting in the return of the temp sensor to the water pump line to complete the circuit. I havent worked on the car all summer, mainly because i'm lazy and i lost a lot of enthusiasm for some reason, now I have the itch to get back into it because the cool weather means more hp. :D

Before the pump my car ran on the "N" in normal and after the pump it ran in the "O" of norm and temps would rise till the fan kicked on at the mid of "M" in the the normal range. I did however feel a noticable gain in hp. The engine just revs faster.

I did just read a day or so ago that with the cobra r hood like i have, it is a good idea to block the cowl vent because of a pressure change that causes air not to flow thru the radiator right. I will tape this off for now and see if any changes occur, but my car ran out of inspection so I won't get any road testing untill i get it inspected, but it should pass with out a problem.

So thats why there are some funny holes cut out in my car where the stock battery location is.

yeah thats where he mounted it. 89-92 have nothing under the metal where the stock battery is, but 93-95, have an ABS relay under there (I wish I would have looked under the fenderwell before drilling the first hole.) :rolleyes:
 
I think gary used a 37gph pump.I think a 55 gph would be best
fo street use.I have done no testing for street use ,so I don't know.
I would only run one when at the track.

Mezeir claims there electric water pump will last 2000 hrs
or more.

The eletric pump & plate should add 15 to 20hp in the upper RPM ranges.
But the main advatage is the speed that the RPMS turn on.

I wouldn't use an electric pump on an everday car or a car i would drive on long trips, but I prob drive my sc less than 1500 miles (never more than 2 hrs away)a year so I am not really worried. I am always looking at my guages so if the pump goes out I'll know pretty quick, plus you can hear it running.
