water pump drive vs electric pump

Mark Yacavone · 03-08-2024, 12:35 PM

When I used the belt drive pumps, I would order the larger overdrive pulley.
Moroso or Mr. G ?
Turns the pump faster. Of course it uses up more juice.

The Moroso part number 97252 is the larger drive pulley for the electric motor that is 28% faster.

Thanks for all the replies guys, I'm getting a pump drive from a local S/SS racer. Maybe down the road I'll try an electric pump but I still think it would look silly having a "race" electric pump on a 302 2bbl, LOL!!!!

Following up Curtis's post above regarding those good quality 4 post drive motors. Installed one, and it works great. It's about 6 oz. heavier than the current replacement Moroso motor. In my application with a well used water pump, overdrive pulley, and "dry", the 4 post unit draws about 3 Amps vs. the Moroso's 3.5 Amps (roughly 3 yrs. of use).

I don't know if any one is using them on class cars but I am switching to a Davies Craig remote mount water pump. A huge weight savings and they cool some very high HP drag and drive cars.

I'm with you, but I already had one as a spare for my super gas car so I used it on my 305 station wagon. Busted off a smooth -.19 12.80 with a race water pump lol. And the one I have is a CSR I bought new for like $130.
