Pretty sure I brought it up on another occasion, but the old-time Model T's and such had no water pumps- just a simple "thermosiphon" system that relied on a tall radiator and the principle that hot water rises to the top and as it was cooled by the radiator it circulates throughout the system. Perhaps removal of the thermostat and water pump would remove restrictions to that free flow and work with such a lightly loaded engine?

But yes I would imagine an electric pump would work, they are known and proven, but it does draw power.
