Electric water pumps

I know they make them for SBC and LS1 but I have never seen one for a reverse cooling LT1.
I want to stand up my radiator and use one with NPT bungs and just want to ditch the stock water pump housing. I have thought about the afco radiator and a radiator mounted water pump with fitting on the block. Just not sure what to do with the thermostat. Can I use something like this?
