Who makes reliable aluminum water pumps and housings? There is so much junk out there sold by big name companies I don't want to end of with something that doesn't fit right or fail in 6 months
Thanks for any input

I've seen cast aluminum from 60 to 350 so that's got me wondering 60 bucks there has to be something wrong there

I've used edelbrock, MP, and also a few 20 dollar parts store pumps and they all worked great.
I haven't found a housing that I like quite as much as the MP one which is no longer produced, or the stock iron ones.
don't know about electric....

Only $53 shipped to your door. They were $40 a few months ago.

I've used a 440 source housing and pump on my car for the last 8 years without any issues. Yep, mine has been on two different engines (blew up a 440, no fault of the wp) for well over 5700 miles and 4 years. Never any issues with the 440Source pump, housing or thermostat housing.

My MoPar RB housing had quite a bit of casting flash and raw machined edges in the water path, I blended them in for peace of mind. I was also not impressed with how far away the impeller blades were from the housing inner surface, milling a bit off the forward mating surface would make that closer but I never did.

In my exp w pumps are as dependable as any part I have ever dealt with. I would cut a disc in half & weld it behind the blades (on a BB pump) for an anticav plate & get a pump with the most vanes. What Poly said, you want the impeller to housing clearance as minimal as possible (.040") & for sure check/port/deburr the housing (as needed). & adequate pulley ratio
