Don't know for sure about the Flow Kooler disc but I did adapt one of their
pumps to my car some years ago using a Granada pulley. Has worked great for
me but I can't give all the cooling credit to the pump since I put in a
larger radiator at the same time. Haven't been able to get it to overheat
since and my engine is no pussycat.
