Shortest sbc waterpump?

Hi I am playing with a little vega and I need the shortest sbc waterpump I can get. I have a fenco P923 but it is still too long. Is there a shorter factory one? aftermarket? Then what pulleys will I need (alternator, crank and waterpump)?
Any help is appretiated.

You need one off a 68 or older model.. and then you have to move the alternator to the passenger side, or low mount, and get the correct pullies to match. All the short style were the same, so far as length from the block. CSI also makes an electric, remote mount pump, you can get pretty creative with it...

Check with a street rod supplier they make an opel water pump for sbc that are pretty short. Their's alot of stuff out there for early street rod as they have very little room under hoods.

Thanks guys. Still havent figured out what to do. The car is pre-wired for the alternator and the wires are too short to reach to the other side. Somehow the alternator was located on the top-passenger side of engine. I will have to start hunting for pullies I guess.
