Electric water pumps
This might be an old question.
I am new to the site and being a long time hot rodder> I just replaced the circulation water pump on my 502 EFI mercruiser, why couldn't we run a high performance electric water pump? has any one done this? they are Aluminum, rebuild-able and saves HP.

I believe the pump you are referring to is the circulation pump on the front of the motor. I have asked the same question. I currently run with out a pump and use a crossover over kit from Stainless marine. The problem I have is the starboard side runs cooler than the port side because the way the water inlet comes into the crossover directs more water to that side. I am thinking about making a restricter to balance the flow. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
