Default Some water pump talk, including electric.

So, I already had on hand one Edelbrock #8843 water pump ($284.00 online) and I came across a question here regarding a Weiand #8210 that another member was looking to replace. Did a quick search and came up with several options, most being north of $350.00, but Newegg listed it at $184.00, so i went ahead and ordered it. It arrived 3 days later. This thread starter lacks an attachment option. Photos forthcoming. Pressing question in the thread opener is, are ELECTRIC water pumps on street driven engines a high performance, highway-driven option? Back when I was young, I had a water pump failure in a 340 mopar at over 6000 rpm and somewhere around illegal speed. TERRIFYING. I have been suspect of ALL water pumps since then.

Default Pics of the 2 pumps for comparison

The Edelbrock will be going on th 408 in my engine thread, matching up with the heads and intake, and the Weiand should do the job for 351 number one. You can see that the Edelbrock has a much cleaner looking casting and the machining is better. Also, the Weiand is conspicuously absent of ANY country of origin claims, both on the part and all the packaging. Odd, because there's simply none of the telltale signs of asian origin if that makes sense.
