Additional Notes:
The standard 35 GPM pump is suitable for normally aspirated engines up to 650HP. Supercharged, turbocharged and high compression, high horsepower applications should use the 55GPM High Flow pump only. This model does accept heater or bypass hoses as a standard.
The small block Ford engine has gone through several design changes at the factory since its inception. There are two different 55 GPM pump models that may be right for your engine.
