This CVF Racing electric water pump is CNC machined from 6061 billet aluminum for Ford 351 Cleveland, 351 Modified and 400 engines and finished in chrome plated. It moves coolant at a rated 35 GPM at 12 volts and draws 5.5 amps, so coolant flow does not depend on engine speed.
Removing the belt-driven pump takes its mechanical drag off the engine, and CVF estimates the change frees up roughly 5 to 10 horsepower. The kit ships with a backing plate, gaskets, mounting hardware, an inlet pipe and a connector wire, and it is designed to work with CVF Racing accessory brackets.

FAQ
What engines does this electric water pump fit?
It is built for Ford 351 Cleveland, 351 Modified and 400 engines.
What flow rate and current draw does it have?
CVF rates it at 35 GPM at 12 volts with a 5.5 amp current draw.
What comes in the box?
It includes the pump, a backing plate, engine and water pump gaskets, mounting hardware, an inlet pipe and a 12 in. connector wire.
Can the inlet be placed on either side?
Yes. The inlet can be mounted on the driver or passenger side to suit radiator hose routing.
Will it clear a large crank pulley or balancer?
CVF notes it may interfere with original crank pulleys over 6 in. in diameter, and balancers over 6 in. may need a longer water pump inlet.
