There are two different big block Milodon water pumps I think- any idea which part# is better for a street car? I have a 440source water pump, I would rather TRY a Milodon and make sure the pump I have isn't a factor- my Mr Gasket high flow stat sure was..... I want to compare water pumps next....

Interesting reading.... I put a new 440Source pump & Housing on my 600 HP 440 in my Daily Driver '68 RR last year because I am cheap LOL Never really spent too much time looking @ either piece... only issue I ran into is the pump impeller is VERY tight to the housing, so tight that with no gasket they touch... the thickness of the water pump gasket IS the clearance between the impeller & the housing... Have to say this motor probably runs cooler than any I've ever built. 160 T stat & it will sit on 160-165 on any "normal day" I just drive it 120+ miles to track & back couple weeks ago on a 94 degree Saturday... Climbing 7 mountains here in PA on 322 (very long very gruelling mountain climb) I never saw over 174 degrees. This is alum head (INDY EZ's) with killer big Alum rad & high flow mechanical fan... It will climb to about 180 if you sit @ stop light for 2-3 minutes in high heat day.. so the low speed flow is not worlds greatest, as some have mentioned. If I was really concerned about that I'd put an electric pump on it, which has constant flow rate... as soon as you start moving again & RPM's come up above 2000, temp comes right back down into the 160's. If you are really concerned about high temps sitting @ a light or in heavy traffic, pop it into neutral or push in clutch & rev motor a few times, helps circulate water, & will keep temps lower...

What were your issues with the MR Gasket stat? I am using the Source pump and housing on the 472 Hemi in the 69 RR I am working on. I will see if it is a problem on this one. It has a 26" Afco custom radiator. This was my engine, and is similar to yours, minus the ultra cool induction you have! Is this the Milodon pump to use?

I put it in another thread Mark.... but I was thinking my Jensen was running warm. I eventually found a little coolant seepage coming from my thermostat gasket, so I bought a new gasket.... AND a Stant 160 degree thermostat. I tossed both the Mr Gasket 160 high flow stat and the Stant 160 stat into a pot filled with water, then added heat. The Stant stat started opening at 165 degrees, it was fully open by 170 degrees. The Mr Gasket 160 high flow stat started opening at.... well.... the water got to 210 degrees and the stat NEVER opened!!!!! I tried it a few times!
I heard a ton of bad things about them here and there on the internet but always thought it was probably some other problem, that kinda thing... Now I'm gonna stay away from the Mr Gasket high flow stats!!!!
I have a 440source pump on my Jensen, I just HAVE to try a Milodon to see if it makes a difference. I'm trying to get a 16260 as we speak!

SoooOoooooo........... Take a guess which one is the freshly removed 44source pump, and which is the Edelbrock 8814. It's now going in, no idea what to expect, but the differences are easy to see with a casual glance IMO......?

Sorry I did not catch this on here to warn you,butI took the Edelbrock pump off of my 440 in my dually.It was running hotter than I cared for.The previous owner had put this on it,and had a hi-dollar Griffin radiator,shroud,etc.I compared the Edelbrock pump to a 440 Source pump and they are as close of exact copies as you could get.I assume the Edelbrock design is what they were trying to copy. Anyway,I went with a flow cooler pump and dropped 20+ degrees from this thing compared to the Edelbrock pump. Save yourself the trouble,the expensive Edelbrock pump sucks too.

That's an Edelbrock beside a 440source pump right above in the pic. They are different just from a glance IMO. The Edelbrock impeller wheel is a much larger diameter..
And I've heard a few complaints about the FlowKoolers falling apart, maybe somebody else could chime in, but I was going to run a FlowKooler on my Coupe and got several bad feedbacks on them!
Are ANY of them good? Makes me think a stock factory waterpump is worth looking at....?

Well....you guys got me to thinking about my overheating problem now!!! I changed over from a MP viscous drive fan to the HHR electric fan about 4 months ago. I then noticed that the car was not cooling down as it normally would,and the lower rad hose was always quite cool where as the top hose was singin' hot. The fan wanted to run almost continuously. So....this thread got the best of me so I took out the Source pump tonite and put in a MP aluminum one. Result......the car will sit and idle now with the fan cutting in and out at about 185*....just over the stat temp of 180. It hasn't done that for months!!! I'm sort of thinking that the curved vane design is not as good as the old "paddle wheel" set up on the Mopar pump and it wasn't pumping as hard. What d'ya think??? I'll find out this Friday at our Outlaw Shootout because it's been pretty hot lately and once I get down to the last few cars, the hotlapping usually takes it toll. Lets hope.....

On the recommendation of a few here...I sold my 440 Source housing and pump on Ebay....I just didnt wanna be a statistic. I will be ordering a brand new one from Mazzolini. Even Mazz said that the 440 stuff is hit or miss...usually a miss....I just hope those Rods and crank hold together. I still have the stock Cast Iron on my block, runs 210 on a summer day when it is 85*F outside...I am doing house renovations this summer so working on the cooling system will be a Winter job and probably won't have any news til then
