Just as the title reads, I need input and opinions on a new water pump. I was lookinng into a non-cast iron simply for weight purposes. any advice on a good new water pump that'll give me the best bang for my buck!

 

unless youre making some serious power (and serious heat) a stock replacement pump will be fine.

 

ok, well I'm definitely not making much more power past stock. Would you recomend any particular brand or should I just find something that fits? thanks!

 

just dont go buy the cheapest one you can find. cheap and quality dont go together.... pep boys usually offers a good water pump with the option of a life time warrenty.

 

just make sure to get the regular rotation pump if you have the vbelt accesories and the reverse rotation one if you have the serpintine belt

 

Ok, well right now I'm looking at advanced auto parts and they have this GMB performance new water pump, its only 56.69 and it fits my car according the website.

 

what do you think?

 

do they offer a lifetime warrenty? http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...1398&ppt=C0331

that one does

 

I just called my local advanced and they said it has the limited lifetime waranty. pretty much, as long as I don't modify it, the warranty is still good.

 

yea, just make sure its the right rotation and youll be good

 

i got a flowkooler and love it

Just don't buy a new one, get a reman.

The new ones are cast too thick. An reman with a new bearing and seal is a much better piece in terms of quality, and it's cheaper to boot.

 

If you want a good alloy water pump, get an edelbrock. I've had one on my 84 vette since 97 or so, never leaked a drop. They have hi-flow impellars & heavy duty bearings. I'd say the extra 100 bucks over the china crap is worth it.

 

Well, I was gonna get the one I talked about earlier in this thread but the guy at the garage I get my work done at said he had one in stock that he said would be good and it was only $30. No clue what the brand was but he said he's always advised putting that particular one on older sport cars like ours.
