I have been running a 440 source pump and housing for over a year and have been battling overheating. I tried everything, then I read this!!!!

Makes sense, glad to see you found the problem.

Can you sumarize the thread for the lazy folks like myself who don't feel like reading 11 pages?

The 440 source water pumps have smaller "supply ports" where as a stock type water pump has double the size "supply ports"

Hmm. Maybe explains my over heating problems...

Musicman tested the Source pump and housing, he found the pump to be the problem not the housing.

And some of you may want to keep buying the rope that will one day hang us all economically.
I'll give you the Readers Digest condensed version.
Turns out the " restricted " housing still flowed 40 gpm , and the water pump was the culprit.
Did I get the flavor of the thing ?

damn and i just baught one of those housings

Hi,
I'm using one of the 440source pump housings, with a 8 vane water pump. The temperature is holding steady at 180* So far it working good. The only problem I had was sealing that damn thing. You gotta tighten the crap out of the pump bolts & fittings.

I read the entire Post on the charger forum some time ago

The 440 Source housing is okay....it's their pump that flows really bad at low RPM....they didn't actually test a Milodon one but I kept the 440 Source housing and junked their pump then switched to a High Flow Milidon one....

One of the top flowing ones they tested was the eight blade stock AC version....

 

[FoMoCoMan]

I have read this thing before somewhere. Thats why i still got my cast iron housing and mopar performances high flow pump.

Wow. I really didn't get a chance to read the WHOLE thread, just only through 2 pages. Sorry for the "misguided" information

How come some people have problems with certain parts and others don't?

 

[jbarker]

I don't know. I've had a 440 Source housing for about 2 years now. No overheating problems at all.

Some people say its the impeller others the housing. The pictures are not encouraging!

So Ron, I might have this problem with the one we bought at Mancini's.
Do you know of anyone that makes a good alum. housing that is not restrictive?

Off the subject, I have had a couple of arguments with 440 Source about their Chinese alum. heads. I'll pay more and stick with Edelbrock any day of the week.

I am quoting myself to ask this question again....has anyone had any experience with the Mancini housing or water pump and housing combo?

 

[wogboy]

I played it safe when I bought mine. I went with a MP one.
Haven't heard anything bad about the mancini ones.

Because you never know if your getting the full story. You don't know if the guys are butchers and screwed up things themself or not.


As far as Mancini goes who knows. You'll have to find out who supplys them.
