Product Details

Features

  • High-volume pump flow helps circulate coolant more efficiently through the radiator and engine passages
  • 5.700 in. hub height and 0.625 in. pilot diameter help maintain proper pulley alignment and belt tracking
  • 8-vane clockwise impeller design helps maintain steady coolant movement at varying engine speeds
  • Chrome Aluminum housing finish adds corrosion resistance with a cleaner performance appearance

Description

Upgrade your Ford Small Block Windsor engine with this high-flow aluminum mechanical water pump. Designed for 289, 302, and 351W Windsor V8 applications, this pump features a lightweight aluminum housing, driver-side inlet configuration, and standard-rotation design to provide reliable coolant circulation and improved cooling performance for street, performance, and restoration builds.

Pulley Alignment
5.700 in. hub height and 0.625 in. pilot diameter help position the pulley and fan drive during installation.

Inlet Configuration
This water pump uses a driver-side lower radiator hose inlet. Verify the inlet location on your current water pump and cooling system before ordering, as many early Windsor applications used a passenger-side inlet design. Fits many 1970-1985 applications with driver-side inlet cooling systems.

Impeller & Flow Design
The 8-vane clockwise high-volume impeller setup helps move coolant steadily through the block, heads, and radiator circuit.

Installation Notes
Confirm gasket included: yes, mounting hardware included: no, back housing included: yes before final assembly.

Will this water pump fit my engine?
This water pump is designed for Ford Small Block Windsor V8 engines including 302 and 351W applications. It features a driver-side lower radiator hose inlet and is commonly used on many 1970-1985 Windsor-powered vehicles. Verify inlet location, pulley alignment, and water pump dimensions before ordering.


What does a water pump do?
A water pump circulates coolant through the engine and radiator to help maintain proper operating temperature.


What material is this water pump made from?
This water pump is made from aluminum, which helps with durability and heat dissipation.


What type of impeller does this water pump use?
This water pump features an 8-vane cast aluminum anti-cavitation impeller designed to improve coolant flow and help reduce cavitation. TSP high-flow water pumps are designed to flow up to approximately 40% more coolant than many stock-style pumps.


Does this water pump include a gasket?
Yes, this water pump includes a gasket for installation.


Is this water pump suitable for performance applications?
Yes, this water pump is designed to support performance and upgraded cooling systems.


Will this water pump help prevent overheating?
Yes, a properly functioning performance water pump can improve coolant circulation and help reduce overheating.


Is this a good upgrade from a stock water pump?
Yes, this water pump is a strong upgrade for improving cooling efficiency and reliability.


Do I need to verify rotation before installation?
Yes, water pump rotation must match your belt drive system to ensure proper coolant flow.


Can this water pump be used with aftermarket radiators?
Yes, this pump can be used with upgraded cooling systems when properly matched to the engine setup.

Does this use a driver-side or passenger-side inlet?
This water pump uses a driver-side lower radiator hose inlet. Verify the inlet location on your existing cooling system before ordering to ensure proper radiator hose routing and compatibility.
