SBF Water Pump - 65-67 289 Special

The Edelbrock SBF Water Pump for 65–67 289 Special is a mechanical cooling system component engineered for Small Block Ford engines. This aluminum water pump features a 5/8-inch pilot bore and delivers dependable coolant circulation essential for maintaining optimal engine temperature during sustained driving, whether on the street or at the track. Built to OEM specifications, this pump integrates seamlessly into classic Ford muscle car restoration and performance builds.

The Victor Series designation identifies this as part of Edelbrock's premium water pump lineup, recognized for precision casting and reliable flow characteristics. The aluminum construction reduces weight compared to cast iron alternatives while providing excellent thermal conductivity. The natural finish—unpainted bare aluminum—simplifies installation and allows builders to paint or polish the pump to match their engine bay aesthetic. The 5/8-inch pilot bore ensures compatibility with Small Block Ford crankshaft configurations common to 1965–1967 models, though verification of your specific engine's pilot diameter is recommended before purchase.

This water pump addresses the needs of classic car restorers, hot rodders, and Ford enthusiasts rebuilding or upgrading cooling systems on 289 cubic inch engines. Proper coolant flow is critical for preventing overheating under load, especially in vintage vehicles where original cooling capacity may be marginal by modern standards. Whether you're completing a numbers-matching restoration or modernizing a performance build, a quality mechanical pump like this ensures reliable circulation without the complexity of electric alternatives.

Edelbrock's mechanical water pumps are engineered to OEM specifications and widely trusted in Small Block Ford restoration circles. This pump is sold individually and ready for installation with appropriate gaskets and fasteners.
