Having a stock water pump hanging 2" out of the cowling, this is really
sounding good to me.

 Called a friend who uses an electric water pump in a Chevy 350 and he says
it works, as advertised.

Don't like the idea of using a factory  controller tho..  Building a tail
dragger.  Things could get awful  hot on starting and shutting down without
water moving through it.  Thinking along the lines of having a manual
controller for a soft start and to keep temps where I want them. There would
be a single pole solid switch for back up if the controller went south.
Like flying skis in the winter, this would also make it easier than the
possibility of  blocking off part of the intake. This would be great for a
water cooled turbo also on shut down.

Would there be any advantages of installing the EWP just above the radiator
when its under the engine? Would be easy to support, and really low on the
system.

The down side is when they go, they usually go now.
