small block electric water pump

i contacted CSR about this, ya can't use the heater, no provisions. However, they did tell me it would be okay to drill a hole for a 1/4" NPT pipe thread fitting to run a line to the bypass on the manifold, of course you would have to reduce the manifold outlet a little. the green dot in the pic is where u would drill the hole. i didnt do it, i decided to use a standard water pump.


The stroker I bought had a Mezier water pump on it and I couldn't figure out how I was going to drive the alternator. Sold it to a guy down under and put on a stock pump with a Moroso elec drive motor. Works great and allows me to warm up the cold blooded stroker a lot faster so it will idle - just leave the pump off until the water temp gage shows some signs of life. What was kinda strange was the corrosion I found behind that Mezier pump where the water dead heads at the bottom behind the pump plate. It ate into the anodizing.
