This CVF Racing shorty mechanical water pump is a high-flow aluminum unit for Ford small block 289, 302 and 351 Windsor V8 engines. It turns in standard clockwise rotation and carries a natural satin cast finish.
CVF states the pump shortens the front of the engine by roughly 1.5 in. compared with a factory-style pump, which helps in tight engine bays, swaps and compact serpentine setups. CVF lists it as a replacement for the discontinued Ford Racing M-8501-E351S short pump.
