Worst case scenario, electric water pump moving water through the system with 10% the load of the stock mechanical pump. Everything happy.

Best case Cruise on the interstate on a blue sky 50% day, electric pump pulling like 2% of the original systems load, still have a happy ending to the story...

I'm going to try and find the specs on the pump I've been working with.
Its a SMALL unit and keeps up with a engine running way beyond design limits.
Gotta be some good data somewhere.

Its worth about 2 effective HP on the race car, if it could maintain that
in a highway situation it would not take long to pay for itself. Plus the
benefit of being able to cross connect it and a block heater for pre-heat use.
As I recall it was about 180 bucks for the unit and the controller was 75
