Water pump opinion

[Kendog 170]

So my old water pump is leaking. It was the cast iron 440 source pump and their alum. housing. I see they have a new alum. hi flow pump. Anyone using it or should I go another direction.

I have the 440 Source aluminum hi-flow pump and housing on my 383 and it's been working for me, no issues in 5+ years

Yeah, the flowkooler pumps are what I use. Just need to ensure the thermostat is REALLY a high flow unit, like the one that Stewart Components sells. They have the big windows, unlike other "high flow" stats that are not really.

Or, Robert Shaw thermostat. The large one is the 370. Yes, Flowkooler.
