I know the FC water pumps are cheaper.
There's a seller on eBay (usellit2me?) that sells brand new NOS water pump + housing for under $100.
That's a deal.
We've never had any problems with the FC water pump set-up, and we've converting it to a Meziere electric set-up on the 20B now.


Don't have any experience with the Griffin rads, as we only use AFCO racing rads ourselves.
The size sounds just about the same as the AFCO Racing 80125N.
The 80125N is a dual-pass design with the inlet / outlet on the same size as stock.

Well i went ahead and bookmarked the afco radiator then, i will use the S5 pump as well, do you know of any inexpensive places for a metal neck, or will it be simple enough to just make one? Also, with this type of radiator, and the S5 pump, will I need an AST? Where should I plumb it in to?

Will i be able to swap the RE pulley on the S5 W/P and continue to use a serpertine belt, or will i swap FC pullies onto the alternator/crank?

I read the faq on your site but i still have some questions on this.
