...besides Indy?
I've seen their kit; wanted to know what other options there are out there.

489 C.I.D., roller cam, aftermarket heads, tunnel ram, stock '54 Dodge rear axle assembly: which of these doesn't belong?

I believe AndyF sells block fittings as well. I have used the Meziere ones but now use the Mesiere pump. The Indy set up it simply a "manifold" that uses a SBC pump. I believe it is less costly to just use the Meziere pump.

well the story as i was told goes like this... if the heads are first to get the cooled water then you can increase timing & fuel so with less chance of detonation you get to make more power. does it???? not sure, i had cooling issues before i bought my mezzarie reverse flow & i added an alloy radiator since it needed -12 fittings for the water return. i'm definately running faster than i used to but couldn't say 100% it was all related to the pump deal.

My reverse flow waterpump started leaking and I got a replacement from Harbor Freight that with a little modification seems to be working as well as the old pump. Just a little noisy  http://www.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result/?category=&q=waterpump+12+volt Just thought I would throw that out there in case you get in a bind. I tried a boat supplier but they were out.
