You mean for coolant right? If used for complete system coolant in a mid-engine car with a nose radiator I would say no. I think that that kind of pipe will have just about the maximum amount of flow restriction possible, coupled with the extreme length of the system, the majority of the coolant volume located below the pump inlet on most V8 mechanical WPs, and the inherently problematic impeller speed/inefficiently issue. I wouldn't do it.
I would use an electric water pump, as few 90-degree turns as possible (two 45s spread apart a couple of inches would be less restrictive), and mount the pump as low as possible in the car with the cool outlet as close to the engine coolant in ports as possible. Plump in an expansion tank with the inlet to the tank right at the pump inlet, and a complete self-bleed system including the radiator tops and the rear of the heads that return air in the system right back to the top of the header tank.
If not for coolant then................what? Never seen it used for engine oil, and all that's left is the AC system, hummmm maybe.............. and brakes......... NFW!
