Simple Water Pump question > S.B.C.

[B1tchin'-Buick]

Already ordered my cookie cutter 350 S.B.C. for my swap.

I'm not doing anything crazy with the engine at all. So the stock water pump should be fine?
Or should I spend the extra 35 bucks on a "High-Flow" Pump?

I don't want to be a total Cheap-Skate, but every dollar counts seeing as I have ALOT of parts to buy.....TH350, Intake, headers, harmonic balancer, Carb (bought), radiator, Alt, pulleys, belts, hoses, bolts, Ect... Ect...Ect....

Research, research, research >>>> Thanks

Your putting a Chevy engine in a Buick?

I dont think you need to get another water pump, but if its only 35 than I would just consider it cheap insurance. Im just starting to really get into cars, but thats just my personal opinion.

Your typical SBC water-pump will do fine. Make sure you put a T-stat in the motor and there shouldn't be a problem.

I use a regular Napa rebuilt pump and I have a slightly upgraded SBC. I have no problems with it.

Standard water pump is fine. It can only flow as much as the thermostat lets it flow. Almost never a reason for high flow.

If youre looking for a water pump, PRW makes some nice aluminum ones for cheap.
