Details

Original flathead water pumps have always suffered from unreliable bronze bushings and carbon seals. They almost always leaked and even Ford manuals warned mechanics not to tighten fan belts too tight. The excess slack allowed belts to slip and lose contact with the generator and water pump pulleys, causing more cooling and power problems.

Speedway's completely new water pumps feature severe-duty roller and ball bearings, close tolerances and modular impellers to provide maximum flow and reduce cavitation. They also have modern ceramic seals on a heavy duty 3/4" shaft, making the assembly exceptionally strong and more efficient.

Note: This water pump is for 1948-1952 engines in 1948-1952 pickups or 1932-1948 cars.

Overall Assessment

Customers find the 8BA water pumps to be of great quality. The pumps fit well and are effective in function, proving to be an excellent choice over competing products. Some minor issues with the gaskets were noted, but overall, the water pumps are reliable and practical. Despite initial shipping hiccups, customers were ultimately satisfied with the product's performance.

Pumps are great. I ordered a drivers side pump and a passenger side pump. Unfortunately I received two drivers side pumps. The gaskets included with the pumps were both damaged. Speedway did send me a passenger side pump and a set of new gaskets but I had to wait almost two weeks to get them. I had paid for expedited shipping (to Canada) on the original order and received it in 4 days which really impressed me. But I had to wait much longer for the replacement pump and gaskets.
