Actually, it is a horrible idea. A metal impeller pump can do serious and permanent damage to the engine cases, filling the entire cooling system with fine metal that is difficult to remove without taking the engine apart, and even then will result in reduced cooling capabilities because the space between the pump impeller and the cases is now too large to facilitate proper coolant circulation. Bad idea all around.
