Re: Water Pump Flow Rate
Its a good topic ,I have spent sometime experimenting with thermostats and with out , , fans ,shrouds, testing pumps ,caps catch cans, header tanks ,Electric fans ,flowing the water back wards .Most engines the run exhaust out the side 2" or so its just that the Flathead runs it out a bit further it does add some heat but the Radiator is thicker to compensate its about a 3rd thicker than say a Chev 6 ,Water is sucked or pumped through the lower part of the block then forced forward , I don't think the ports block it that much its the way all moters have them When they changed over to the 37 block they did wind tunnel testing Emil Zoreline was given the job of sorting the heating problems out with a wind tunnel he helped it by fitting the pumps in the block to push water to create a high pressure Zone,
