I have the electric water pump mod and I don't recommend it, especially if you want to do an alt delete.

Just don't give up reliability with too much electronics.

That motor is only slightly bigger than what my electric water pump uses. Mine uses 5 or 6 amps and cools my 395 cubic inch diesel and 2 water cooled turbochargers pretty well.

Since this is a permanent magnet motor you will likely find that on 12v it might not draw any where near 16 amps.
On a lot of devices when you cut the DCV in half that usually cuts the amps roughly in half, reducing your wattage to around 1/4 of the original rated power.
So you might not even need a controller.
