If they are still using the Cat water pump ??
It is a High Volume but only at higher RPM, not at idle where I needed it on my Challenger

There has been some moaning about the size of one of the passages on the "drivers side inlet" castings. I just hogged that passage out on the one I have as there's plenty of material in that area - it took all of ten minutes to do. Otherwise the casting is nice and fits fine. For the price you really can't beat it.
Did the thermostat housing bolt spacing get corrected ?
Otherwise the OP really has no alternative choice if he wants something other than the stock iron housing .

Cheap China junk... Internal passages too small, will make an engine run 20-30 degrees hotter... Also the casting height is different from the OE Mopar aluminum one, forces one to use different spacers to get the proper fan belt/pulley alignment. May work OK for a casual cruiser but dump it if one has built the motor and/or lives in a hot climate. Just my $0.02...

Mine lined up perfect and cools my stroker motor just fine, all summer long.
Awesome... Glad it worked fine for you.. How hot does it get in the summertime in Indiana? We ran 1 for about a month on our 520 inch stroker, the temperature ran well about 210 degrees. Pulled it off, installed the Mopar OE water housing and temperature dropped 25 degrees..
We sold it for $25 @ last year's Spring Fling
Just my $0.02..

Had the same setup...I sold it last year brand spanking new for $100 because I didn't want to be a statistic....Do so at your own risk. I went balls out and got the real one from Mancini with the matching HV water pump

Had a 440source pump and housing on my 511" stroker street engine and it always ran cool with lots of street miles on it. Including long highway cruises where insufficient water movement usually presents itself.
