Davies Craig Pty Ltd announces the arrival of its New Plug and Play innovative Remote Electric Water Pump (EWP®) Block Adapter to suit the General Motors LS Series family of engines.

If your belt-driven, mechanical water pump has a mechanical fan, you will need to replace it with a Davies Craig Thermatic Fan..

If you’ve purchased one of the EWP® Electric Water Pump Combo Kits, then your EWP/Fan Digital Controller has a built-in thermal switch that will control an electric Thermatic Fan in unison with your new Electric Water Pump.

When choosing your fan, remember that a strong air flow, Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM) through your engine’s radiator is the one vital factor that helps achieve efficient engine cooling. Ensure the electric Thermatic Fan you select has sufficient air flow, (CFM).

Note: This block adapter plate is designed to fit in place of the original belt driven Mechanical Water Pump. Upon removing the Mechanical Water Pump, you will need to ensure that you have the correct sized belt for reconfiguration.

This Adapter has fitment options including:

  • Ability to fit / locate the EWP on the left or right side of the engine thus accommodating different engine configurations.
  • Fitment to engines with Air Conditioning systems.

These iconic V8 engines are fast becoming the engine of choice for their lightweight and power. Now, the addition of the Davies Craig Electric Water Pump Block-Adapter Kit, coupled to one of the EWP®115, or EWP®130 or the EWP®150 Electric Water Pump Combo Kit will free up the parasitic power loss inherent with mechanical water pumps!

Your Block Adapter is designed to replace the belt driven mechanical water pump and thermostat to complement the installation of Davies Craig remote-mounted Electric Water Pump (EWP®).

Suitable for most 3rd and 4th Generation GM Small Block Engines Including LSX.
