Nice find. The Meziere pump isn't in the budget right now and I was thinking about making the Moroso drive unit work. I'd like to hear more about this setup.

I did the moroso adaptors and BBC pump conversion.
If I were to do it over again, I would either buy the meziere race pump, or plumb a remote pump.
The Kit you link to, looks functional Doug, but it doesnt eliminate the ugly oem pump

I run a 42 gph meziere with spacers for my front mount dizzy drive. Fairly bulky and not exactly cheap. I'd go to remote craig davies unit if i were to do again, with adaptor and hose off the engine

Ugly yes functional yes. I don't know which one to pick!!! I do have a buddy with the bbc adapters he may give me or sell cheap or hell he mite keep them. Is it worth going to the adapter and bbc pump? Or just going with the meziere

I still run a thermostat, but it has 2 small holes drilled in it so some coolant can bypass

I talked with Tom last night (the guy making them) and he says 179.95 and they'll be ready at the end of the month. I'm hoping that price might include shipping. We'll see. He's actually not far from me. Not worth a drive over but he races at a local to me racetrack. I'm definitely buying this. The motor plate project has made accessory alignment an issue and this will solve all problems.

I run the meziere, It was pricy, but looks great and functions flawlessly. never has leaked a drop like some of the old sbc elec pumps.

agreed, the meziere is a nice piece....this fills the gap on those of us that don't want to spend near $500 (or more!) for a water pump though.

I have seen this in person and it does fill the gap for those who can't spend the big bucks for the Meziere. The entire assembly can be installed in 5 minutes for a quick race track setup. The kits are going to come complete with everything needed to bolt on.

I may just run it and see how it handles street duty. Car gets maybe 500 miles a year but mostly track work!
