I am thinking of getting an aluminum big block water pump housing. It looks like there are 3 options: Mopar for $180 at Summit, Sumit's house brand for $145, and 440Source for $65. Needless to say, there is a pretty big price difference between these water pump housings. I remember a few years back that people were having trouble with the 440Source housings because the passages were too small. Is that still the case or did they fix the problem? What about Summit's house brand? Or is this another case where I need to buy original and just take the punishment to my wallet?

I found a mopar pump and housing on the bag for $186. There are deals if you are patient.

The 440 source housing water temp probe location is on the drivers side of the housing (at least mine is) May be an issue with stock wire harness. Maybe new housings have location on passenger side??
Me too on the temp sender. You'll have to splice wire in to make it longer.

Or simply drill and tap the housing on the passenger side.

I have the mancini pump and housing on my 440 and so far so good.

Also reasonably priced
I got the whole package they sell with the pump and it all works EXCEPT the leaky chrome water neck

I got the same package, on my engine I've only had dyno time but the chrome thermostat housing hasn't leaked *yet* I prolly also shouldn't say chrome since I have since elminated the chrome and painted it hemi orange.

That chrome one is a junker and will leak.. Go to Napa ask for #BK 6051051, its like $6 is cast like the OE one...
Just my $0.02...

Don't buy sources pump with the cast impeller...it's garbage IMO
I have a new pump with the "scroll" impeller with the curved blades & I think it has CAT cast into the body. Is that the bad one?
Dump those and get the one from Mancini...
Just my $0.02...

Same hear as Mancini told me it was their parts but it looks just like the MP without the MP emblem on it. And yes the chrome thermo housing leaked and is junk. I just used my old housing as I painted it all Max Wedge orange. Ron
