water pump question
i have a 496 bbc in a pulling truck at first i had a mr. gasket cog belt drive for my pump worked great for 2 years then a wire came loose internally so i got an other one 2 pulls later (maybe a total of an half hour) the bearings went out of the motor (i could squeze the belt about an inch so not to tight so i said the hell with it and just put the water and crank pulley on and now at 7000 rpm throwing belts should i spend the money on a actual electric water pump? sorry bout the length
