Hey all. I'm working on a project here at school and am designing a small block chevy for one of my classes and one of the wuestions is to determine the flowrate of the coolant. Anybody have any idea what a stock lets say 350 water pump flows at?

Approx 50 GPM at 13 psi and the pump would use about 10 horsepower.

That's really shocking. That's a whole lot of hp just to move a few gallons of coolant around.

flow rate is variable depending on RPM
