I've got an '87 Mustang 5.0. Just under 40k miles and stock/original condition. Water pump is leaking. Should I just replace stock water pump? Or what about a Chrome/Polished "High flow" water pump? Summit racing offers one that's only a few bucks more than a stock pump. Any negatives to a "high flow" with a stock car (no underdrive pulleys wanted) I just thought the "bling" of the Summit part would encourage me to detail the engine compartment and get me started with a few performance mods.

Thanks,

Brad

For a little more than stock replacement, I stepped up to the Summit Racing higher flow pump...I went with black instead of the "show" chrome.

Thanks for the responses. It looks like I can pay my money and take my choice.
