Original Flathead water pumps have always suffered from unreliable bronze bushings and carbon seals. They almost always leaked and even Ford manuals warned mechanics not to tighten fan belts too tight. The excess slack allowed belts to slip and lose contact with the generator and water pump pulleys, causing more cooling and power problems.
Speedway's completely new water pumps feature severe-duty roller and ball bearings, close tolerances and modular impellers to provide maximum flow and reduce cavitation. They also have modern ceramic seals on a heavy-duty 3/4" shaft, making the assembly exceptionally strong and more efficient.
Specifically designed for the 49-53 engine, mounted in the 49-53 Ford passenger car chassis, 1952-53 Mercury passenger car chassis, and 1953 F-series trucks
