dang wasnt even thinking about that ok...so how would you go about mounting an electric one and could someone steer me on the right direction? i mean what do i do about the gear that drives the old one???

The old water pump is pressed out and the new electric pump in pressed into the waterpump housing. I've heard nothing but good things about CSI pumps. The old gear is just left in place.

i just put a csi pump in last week and love it. i picked up alittle over 1mph in the 1/4 mile (could be more but the weather was really hot and muggy).
