All, if you go to www.meziere.com you can look under Products and
Remote pumps for some neat road-ready electric pumps, including one that
mounts directly onto the lower side of your radiator. If you search
under GM, and Small-Block, they also have one specifically for the
B.O.P.R. 3.5-4.6 that is a bolt-in replacement for the mechanical one.
However, at 5.5" deep it may not provide any advantage over a
belt-driven one, other than freeing up some H.P. and keeping cool at Idle.
