    Fuel and water pump

    I am getting ready to put in new motor. I don't have all the external components purchased. I would like opinions on what I need as far as a water pump and fuel pump. 
     The car is a 66 mustang with a c4. The motor is a 302 roller stroked to 331. Heads are Trick Flow alum. Cam is trick flow stage 2 (healthy). Carb will be 600 to 650 cfm. With the horsepower increase, do I need to upgrade the mechanical fuel pump? I see about 20 or 30 choices at summitt. Anywhere from $25 to $150+. I dont really want to buy a edelbrock victor for $150 if I don't need it. What fuel pressure and flow would work for me. Right now I am thinking I will rebuild  a 600 cfm edelbrock I have to see how it works. Rebuilding it because it has been sitting on shelf a long time. Be specific as to what you use as far as brand and model if possible.
     Same for water pump. Should I go cast iron or alum? High flow or standard flow? Brand? 
     Do you think I need to upgrade radiator? I live in Arizona and will have a/c. thanks Dale

    Re: Fuel and water pump

    I think you would be happy with the Edelbrock aluminum water pumps.  They are just under $200.  Now, if an off-the-shelf Autozone new replacement falls in your lap, it will do the job nearly as well for alot less money.  Flow-Kooler is the same pump as Autozone but with a plate pop-riveted to the impeller.

    Before you buy a radiator, check out my how-to page on installing a 24" wide 69-70 radiator.

    For fuel pump, I like the Carter mechanical pump that is basically a copy of the old BOSS 302 pump.  Summit sells them.

    Carter pump #M60454 from Summit Racing  $99
     

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.
