right now i'm in the middle of putting my motor back together and was considering putting a electric water pump in. I'm wondering if its worth it or not? the car is not a daily driver.

The Meziere requires slight trimming of the fan shroud to clearance the pump motor.
The CSI/R requires minor trimming of the water pump housing (no clearancing to the fan shroud needed) to clear the mounting ears.
Both are very minor basic modifications. I am using the CSR and am pleased with the results. An additional benefit of using an electric water pump is that it also allows for a double roller timing chain. Removal of the water pump drive also supposedly decreases stress on the front cam bearing (not proven, although it would make sense).

^^ You'll need to have some form of warning system to let you know that your pump has stopped working. Being electric instead of motor driven, it has more of a chance of stop working maybe due to a bad ground or cut wire or something so you'll need something to let you know before it's too late. At least that's what I think is what they mean haha
