Water pump weight
Does anyone know the actual weight difference between a stock iron pump and a Flowkooler aluminum pump?

Back when I was putting my '64 on a diet to go bracket racing I weighed both a cast iron pump and an aluminum pump.
If I recall correctly the weight savings was about 1-1/2 pounds, I do recall thinking the difference was hardly anything.

Just for reference:
I ended up with a PRW polished aluminum pump that I got from SD Performance. Looks really nice, works well and is a solid 5 lbs lighter than my stock iron pump. |

To find out how much weight I would save by going to an aluminum pump but it looks like nobody knows.
Until now... |

Good info, what about ditching it and going electric?
That will save weight and parasitic drag.
