Stage 1 Mechanical Water Pump

The Stewart Components Stage 1 water pump is a high-flow mechanical cooling solution designed to improve engine temperature management at lower RPMs. Each unit utilizes new original equipment cast iron housing that is machined and assembled by Stewart Components to meet precise standards. It is specifically compatible with Chevrolet Small Block engines found in 1971-1982 Corvettes. Technical features include a 5.795-inch total length, a 3/4-inch bearing, and a 3/4-inch shaft. Note that clearance may be a factor when used with certain aftermarket timing covers, such as double-roller timing sets, as the pump design varies from other aftermarket alternatives. Installation should be performed with attention to original equipment specifications to maintain cooling efficiency.
