I ran one on the 340 Challenger with zero problems, also used one of the included (3) restrictors in place of a thermostat....the price actually changed that much over 20 something years....Summit sells the kit for $85 and the replacement motor for $50....

I run the shogun manifold with a 25 dollar harbor freight pump.I always pack a extra pump and i can change it in about five minutes..My son runs the old moroso unit but it has failed quite a few times.Of course alot of this is his fault as the little pecker takes off and lets it run all the time.lol

I ran one for awhile on my old Dart sport, but I was much happier when I switched to a used Meziere that I got for a great price. The engine compartment looked better and it cooled better.
But you guys are right, I couldn't afford to carry a spare Meziere.

OK
Lets look at the weight of a setups. So what does a aluminum housing, and aluminum water pump with a Moroso setup weigh?
Weight is always important to me. More so than cost in this case.
What does the Meziere unit weigh?
If it would be 10 lbs or so...That would be a nice savings.
Thanks guys...I would imagine that the failure rate of those Meziere pumps is pretty low. I personally dont know anyone who has had one fail.
Im still looking at a few hundred dollars for the basic setup.

Bob, I have the aluminum housing and stock style aluminum high flow pump. I use a heater blower motor to run it and carry the Moroso motor as a spare in my trailer. The motor is for an AC equipped car and with the oversized pulley on the motor it spins the pump and fan probably close to 50% faster than the Moroso motor did.

I just went out in my shop and weighed the whole setup, motor, pump, housing and thermostat housing all bolted together was 13 lbs. I think the motor is for a late 70's Lincoln with AC but I can't remember for sure. I could probably get a part number for the motor if anybody's interested and maybe post a pic. I use a high pitch stainless steel fan I think I bought from Summit or Jegs a few years back.

I went through 2 Moroso motors before I went to the blower motor. Now I think I need to replace the motor again but I've had the car since 87 and some years it'll get close to 400 laps.

I have also run the old-school Moroso setup and carried a spare motor for many years.

One thing that I have learned is to shut off the water pump motor before blast-charging your battery. The battery charger will burn up your motor if you leave them both running for an extended period of time.
