What water pump are people using for B/RB engines? I have a street/strip car and was curious to see the opinions. I was either going to go with the flow-kooler, Milidon (but the impellers look cheap to me on the Milidon) or possibly a marine one with a brass 8 fin impeller. I have seen the comparisons on other sites with various types of water pumps and the brass one seemed to flow good. However the flow-kooler or Milidon were not part of the test group. Do you think the anti-cavitation plate is a gimmick?

I have been using the same Milodon pump for 13 years with no issues.

No, it is highly desired. most all my esp is small blocks but for a BB I would get an 8 blader with the plate or add one & just me I think a parts house pump is plenty adequate

I switched from an Eddy to a Flowcooler last year. Seems to work very well.

Flow-Kooler pump has been on my 440 car since 2000. Yes that's 16 yrs now. Still going strong (knock on wood).

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

I had a FlowKooler on my 440. forgot why i took it off, but when i did, one of the impellers was GONE. never did find it. no BS either. went back to a good old Mopar Performance.
