I did a search on a Dakota forum I'm a member with and saw nothing. Another search just showed the people saying electric is not suitable for street. You'll have to go to some forums and really search up the subject. What I did find was from 2012.

Yup, that was what I found. The electric WP will be fine for the street as long as it is not 100 degrees and stuck in traffic, which I don't drive it under those conditions. Whenever I've been in houston it was always 100 degrees and I was always stuck in traffic, even when I lived there as a kid. I think if it was a good idea then many manufacturers would be running them, I don't remember seeing them on anything built outside of europe and those are pure garbage.

The pully systems between the LA motor and the Magnum motor interchange. If you want to use an electric water pump, why not just convert back to the LA pulley system for the accessory drives?
The differences between the "forward rotating water pump and the reverse rotating water pump" is the direction the vanes are angled on the impeller and that difference is simply done because the different pulley systems turned the pump impeller in the other direction. The cooling systems on the motors are both designed to flow the coolant through them in the same direction. The alternator, the power steering pump, and the AC compressor all turn in the same direction on both motors. When Mopar went to the serpentine belt system, changing the direction of the water pump rotation was the most simple way to make it work, and al they had to do then was change the angles of the vanes on the water pump impeller so the coolant would flow through the motor in the correct direction. Modifying just the water pump was the simplest and cheapest way to get the job done.
You guys tend to way over think this stuff.
For the record, there is no way I would exchange a belt driven water pump for an electric driven water pump on a street driven vehicle, but you do you, and I will do me.

My wife's GLE580 uses electric WP and electric AC, matter of fact, electric everything with no belts. Make the "stop" portion of the "start/stop" feature very nice. It has the bi turbo 4.0 integrated with a 48-volt motor-generator that gives it an extra 21 hp and 184 tq. Hardly "pure garbage".

Going from my memory I don't recall anyone back in the day running an electric setup on a 5.9 Magnum. Worse case you could ask on a Dakota RT group or search on www.dakotart.com if that website is compatible with your browser.

Most of those are pretty "dead" now.

The "Why" is so I can circulate water through the block with my electric fan running to cool the motor down to 150 degrees in about a minute (with the engine off). Is this a race motor? If not to me its a waste of time and money. Good luck on your quest as you most likely are the only one.

It looks like you can simply not route the belt to the water pump. The water pump in the image is just above the crank pulley in the image. What length belt that would be... It would be spinning the wrong direction. What would spin in the wrong direction? The water pump would be electric. Am I missing something?

You are right on the routing and finding a shorter belt. Here is a magnum electric pump he could use. Pump
