I have used the Meziere revers pump, remote mounted pump and a radiator mounted pump. I will say I prefer the Radiator mounted pump myself. Gets it out of the way, and makes plumbing easier. However on a dragster I can see where it might be an issue. Oh yeah I by my remote water inlet blocks from Meziere as well. Straight forward and simple. He also sells spacers if need be.

I wonder if these is a way to convert the inlet and outlet to AN fittings? Like Monte said, very reasonable. Just use 1 inch heater hose. It is a lot cheaper than AN hose anyway and is plenty tuff. I use 1 inch heater hose for a lot of dyno testing and my adapter blocks can easily be fitted with tube fittings.

Several companies make them...........it is simply a aux hot water pump for rear heat in such equipped vehicles. If you have a buddy at a wrecking yard, will probably give them to you. Other than that, buy whatever is cheapest, as the only difference in any of them is the plug on it.
We don't run a radiator or a water pump.......just a circulation tank. We started with bilge pumps in the tank, but the hot water killed two of them, so I mounted the Durango pump externally. Why I used that one? because I HAD it. Have a spare in the trailer but have yet to need it. They move PLENTY of water.
In a dragster, or any other RACE car with a small radiator, the large pumps are a waste, because the radiator is not physically big enough to even cool the motor anyway, so why in the world you need a 55gpm pump. Sure, you are moving a ton of water, but it's through a tiny radiator which does not have time to cool the water as you rapidly pass it through there. Same with guys running these size 12, 16 and 20 waterlines. What in the world for. The passages in the block and heads are not NEAR that big. With one of these external pumps, size 8 line is plenty
