Kind of. Might have to give me a week because the engines not completed at this point in time. Have been busy with stupid work. the heads are in a Tupperware container. But I'll take a picture of it hooked up, just can't see the wiring and stuff until I get the heads back on

OK, my experience with electric Water Pumps is somewhat limited (fox body mustangs), but shouldn't you be looking fow a direct fit electric pump that replaces your mechanical pump? This would solve the issue of having to keep the mechanical one at all, as well as any routing issues and it doesn't hinder your in-line mod. Searching for the disco doesn't yield much, but search for a Buick 215 block EP and you've got options. Anyone know if the bolt holes were unchanged?

Here's one example...even has "Rover" in the applications:

Plan is to dump the lr pump and fan.
Electric fits my personality
I like this one. Clean and efficient so I modded a water pump / dummy to replace the working one and the mech fan is on the parts shelf. Got a flex a lite 15"

Have you driven it enough after the install and hg job to notice any increase in hp?


I personally want to put AT LEAST a electric fan in that I can turn off when I go into deep water.


This may be a project for me before the LR National rally in moab.

Nope, I have just now subtracted the fan. Heads are waiting for me to put back on. I plan to take a day this week and stick it back together, but I will update any differences. I recorded a s**+ ton of before info, to make comparisons.

Ideal, but after dicking with trying to find correct size. It wasn't worth the trouble. I didn't want to be sol without a belt.
