1951 263 water pump rebuilt ? How to ?

[suntreemcanic]

I have been dealing with hot straight eights and have been reading about "high performance" water pumps. I have read that these pump manufactures claim a 30% improvement in flow and they attribute most of it to improvement in impeller design. I wonder if there would be a chance one of their impellers would work on a straight eight. The company I am thinking of is Flow Kooler Hi Flow water pumps, www.flowkooler.com. Just a thought.

I don t want a high performance water pump.
The reason why I post pictures is to be a reference for the 263 water pump.
Cause we don t have many references
So this may help .
I hope .
The goal here is to give and have informations about the L8.

And I work a lot for this, I m french and always try to guess how to speak .
Please don t take it as an offense

Je pourrai vous faire tous ca en francais, mais je doute que la plupart comprennent :P
Alors soyez indulgent si it s not perfect :P

Nali, there is no need for you to apologize for your english. I don't have any problem understanding you at all. I wouldn't even want to think about how difficult it would be for me to try to talk with you in french.

I am really glad to see people here like you and Jenz and all the others from outside the US. It shows that Team Buick is being recognized as a valuable resource.

The guy who learned me english was Phil Collins, and later Marilion. This became so easy that I hope anyone can learn a foreign language.
Any one here could speak German or French.
I have to admit Japanese may take more time :P

I ve never sure about this kind of improvement. It s just a kind of physic.
The goal of a water pump is to make the fluid travel trought the engine and radiator.
It s just a thermal exchange ( I love this ) between the rad and the water.
If the flow is big, water and air won t have time to meet, and the water will go back in the engine as hot as it was in the In part of the radiator.
If the the flow is slow, water will have time to get fresh ( well, sort off ) before to coming back to the engine .
quite a neverending story ( nice movie fron Wolfang )
Just my guess. I hope to be wrong and have constructive arguments to proove I was really wrong :P

Nali, your English and ability to convey thoughts is way ahead of me and I grew up speaking English. Ten or fifteen years ago big trucks went to a smaller radiator and slowed the water pump volume down to save horse power (fuel economy.) They were after a larger temperature drop from top of radiator to were the water exits back into the engine. That only lasted a couple years and the bigger radiators came back into use on the big trucks.
