In reply to "If someone checked it out further, it might be possible to
control the waterpump motor with a thermostat temp. unit as with the fan, as no water circulates until the mechanical thermostat opens at the block.",
I think this would be a bad idea because you need to circulate the water around inside the engine while it's warming up so it heats up evenly. Otherwise the water will be boiling in the head before the bottom of the water jacket gets barely warm.
