mezzaire sell the pump. it requires no kit to install but if you want to run accessories you need to be good at fabricating new mounting points & brackets.

We use the Indy,quite simple and effective,Donnies 605"Hemi never see 195* and is 175* by the time he gets back to the pits.

Mezzaire sells plates that accept fittings if you want to run a remote mounted pump , also have seen a manifold of some sort also for use with a remote mount pump.

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.

There are several options. I sell water manifolds that bolt onto the block to use with a remote pump. You can hook up the lines to reverse cool if you want or you can run the lines in the normal way.

I also have a Meziere reverse flow water pump for sale. It was in the for sale section last month but I haven't gotten the ad posted yet this month.

This is what the Meziere pump looks like. It is a simple bolt on pump that pushes the water flow in reverse. You need to hook up the two outlets to your radiator with a Y fitting or install two inlets in the top tank.

...Also, doesn't Mesiere have a pump that has a 55 gph rating.

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

Just thought I would throw that out there in case you get in a bind. I tried a boat supplier but they were out.
