Less weight and lower in the car.

I can use it with any engine.

Gets rid of the stock style hoses.

Pull the timing cover without touching the water.

Very nice setup gray86. That bmr doesn't say it will work on a 5.3 block though. Now I planned on going from the upper hose into a proform sbc standard electric pump mounted remotely then from the the two outlets into the top holes of moroso plates, out the bottom holes into the moroso remote t stat housing, then back to the lower radiator. Sound like a working setup? I don't care to run all an lines as im on a tight budget, I just want the space for my turbo.

You have to drill out a boss in the block for it to bolt on. Lots of guys do it not a bid deal.

What about the y-body balancer? Does BMR or anyone else make the a/c or alternator mounts and tensioners when you remove the water pump?

There are a lot of people with LS motors that need low mount accessory drives, but have the closer y body balancers.
