Edit (I had an Electric water pump; a Moroso)
I ran an electric fan on a V8 Fiero conversion. It would run too hot. I talked to the originator of the system and suggested that I remove the thermostat. Wow no overheating. The thermostat was a big restriction. If the electric pump motor quit working I had an engine that was too way hot within a half a mile.

If you have an electric powered water pump and you could regulate it to supply just the right amount of speed you could eliminate the restriction of the thermostat and have a more efficient heating/cooling. There is a big "IF" in the reliability of the system. It hasn't worked for me.

The pump motor eventually froze up.
