Darrell,
Ken Gillanders of British Frame and Engine has a water pump with hooked
impellers designed to flow more water through the system. Supposed to be
pretty good. It's what I've installed, but since I haven't started the
engine yet, I can't vouch personally for its efficiency. But I can vouch
for Ken. Very knowledgeable, very willing to share decades of experience on
the phone. NFI.
