Mechanical water pumps rob horsepower, add rotating mass, and circulate coolant only as fast as engine RPM allows. Moroso's billet aluminum electric water pump for Ford 289, 302 (pre-1994), and 351W engines eliminates those compromises entirely, providing consistent, high-volume coolant flow independent of engine speed. At 6.23 lbs and just 4.625 inches tall, it fits tight engine bays without the bulk of a conventional pump and pulley setup.
Electric flow on demand. Unlike a belt-driven pump that slows circulation at idle, this unit moves coolant at full capacity regardless of RPM. That makes it especially effective during low-speed cruising, idling in the staging lanes, or any situation where a mechanical pump would otherwise starve the cooling system.
Billet construction throughout. The pump housing, impeller, pump plate, and motor cap are all machined from clear-anodized 6061-T6 billet aluminum. Low-profile and pocketed pump plates shed unnecessary weight, while the powder-coated outer case resists corrosion and heat over the long term.
A motor built for sustained use. Heavy-duty windings, precision balancing, long-life brushes, a stainless steel shaft, and sealed ball bearings make this unit dependable under continuous load. A high-temperature Viton seal prevents leaks at the shaft, and the draw of only 8-10 amps in a standard 12V system means it runs without an alternator on dedicated drag racing builds.
Flexible installation options. The pump mounts directly to the stock water pump location and includes stainless steel hardware and a gasket. A machined -16AN port simplifies hose adapter connections without Teflon tape or pipe sealant. The lower radiator hose inlet accommodates routing from either the driver or passenger side, and the unit operates on both 12V and 16V electrical systems.
Product Benefits
- Eliminates Belt and Fan Load: Frees horsepower and reduces rotating mass by removing the water pump drive belt and engine-driven fan from the equation.
- Consistent Coolant Flow: Circulates at full capacity at any RPM, improving cooling efficiency at idle and low speeds.
- 6061-T6 Billet Aluminum: Clear-anodized housing, impeller, pump plate, and motor cap for strength and corrosion resistance.
- Long-Life Motor: Heavy-duty windings, precision-balanced armature, stainless steel shaft, and sealed ball bearings.
- Viton Seal: High-temperature seal prevents shaft leaks under sustained operation.
- Low Amp Draw: Pulls 8-10 amps on 12V systems, compatible with alternator-less drag racing builds.
- 12V and 16V Compatible: Works with standard street and dedicated race electrical systems.
- -16AN Port: Machined inlet accepts hose adapters directly, no sealant tape required.
- Dual-Side Hose Routing: Lower radiator hose connects from driver or passenger side to suit your engine bay layout.
- Stock Location Fitment: Bolts to the factory water pump pad with included stainless steel hardware and gasket.
Note: Fits Ford 289, 302 (pre-1994), and 351W engines in standard rotation applications only. Does not fit reverse-rotation setups.
