Edelbrock Aluminum Water Pump
« on: January 10, 2024, 10:31:20 PM »
Looking for a good used before I hit the Summit page. Need it to be clean, not painted or polished. I already have two but they are both painted (by me) and this will be for another project. Thanks

I've run an Edelbrock water pump for the last 8 years without any trouble. On my Edelbrock RPM Intake, RPM Heads and Water Pump I used Clear Engine Paint. Good for aluminum. They look as good now as they did in 2015.

I might just try one of those. Certainly a lot more price friendly than the Edelbrock. Thanks!!

I suspect that is the same offshore part sold by PRW.  I used a couple when Edelbrock was out of stock for an extended period.  It fit OK, but leaked in service.

I am not 100% sure about this CVF is made in USA I did ask cvf about them before I bought mine and they said they are cast in the USA and they use a billet alloy impeller. That was about 2 years ago and I would buy another one for sure.

So I bought one of those CVF racing pumps mostly based on the price and above comments.  Ordered yesterday and shipped today so can't complain about service at least. Going on a Drag engine so not like I'm expecting 100,000 miles out of the thing. Thanks for the input.

I have this water pump on my mustang and filled it with coolant a couple of days ago and it's leaking from the back cover plate. I would suggest pulling the back cover off and sealing it up before installing and adding fluid.
