Help with GTS Water Pump

Hello All,

I'm hoping that someone can help me source a high quality water pump for my 2001 GTS (351W).

I bought an aftermarket Edelbrock pump for this motor, but the spacing & bolt pattern are off just enough to make it unusable. The casting number on the current pump is E9AE-8505-BA, which is off a 90-91 Crown Vic.

Any ideas when I might be able to find a better quality pump than OEM ford?

Thanks,

Mark

/Try summitt if it does not fit send it back.

Have look in the Ford Racing catalogue as well. Just been down this track with 369 cube 5.0 for my Panoz and ended up with a Ford Racing pump. Trick is to get pump on its own as Ford Racing seem to ry and sell them with front covers as a compete assembly. Prices also vary widely between Ford Racing distributors so shop around.

The OE is fine. We just get them from Ford (new not rebuilt) or Panoz. I change them every 1-2 race seasons. Also keep one in spare along with: alternator, PS pump and everything else that can break!!

I've never had a waterpump fail BTW, but they are cheap and easy to replace.

Hello All -

Thanks for your help - this is great.

The Motorsports part number is M-8501-G351. The OE part number is FOAZ-8501-A.

The Motorsports pump is actually cheaper than OE.

Thanks again,

Mark
