No.

There's *other ways* to do it, but no "upgraded" pump. And either way, flowing more coolant wouldn't necessarily be a good thing.

Ive never in my years of owning 7's had a pump failure before.

If its leaking its probably the gasket, not the pump itself.

And either way, I'm sure there's exceptions, but like I said water pump FAILURE is a non-existant issue with these cars.

Your pump lasted for 18 years and you want something more reliable?

i wouldnt say non-existent, ive replaced a few that were leaking out of the weep hole (aka bad bearings, or busted bearing seal) hell my friends was so bad we couldnt even fill the car it started pouring out before it was even full.

It's called an electric water pump (by Meziere).
It'll only cost you $1,000 and a lot of labor to put it in.

Is that unit made for street use?
I think the Meziere is the only one that claims it can be streeted.
Even the Stewart Warner units are not to be streeted.

The Meziere set-up is prices including the 13B flange, all SS AN (-16) hose and fitting, PLUS controller.
Ever priced -16 AN fittings and hose?

Could be the weep hole... which means the seals are going out behind the impeller itself... but you knew that.
