390 water pump to intake hose
By Paul Ingraham - 07/16/2005 11:10:10 PM; IP 164.64.83.105
I have a slightly warmed 390 with a Ford Cast water pump, a PI alum. intake and want to know if I can eliminate the connection from the waterpump to the intake manifold. This has the short heater hose that will occasionally fail and leak all over everything.

I have heard from a mechanic that plugging that water pump to manifold connection will result in a cooler running motor. Is this true or B.S.? This mechanic is strong on BB Chebbies and not so strong on FE's and he's putting the motor in my car.

Any help appreciated. Please reply to my email.

Thanks.
