i have a 1.75 inch drop, thats why i have the headers. and yes thats why i am going with the custom alternator(valve covers). and i didnt want to add a lot of electric parts on the car, that why i didnt go with the elec water pump. i have a 2400 watt amp and 2 2000 watt dual 12" speakers in it. i have a upgraded stock pump with beter bearings.

Why do you need an "upgrade"..... my stock water pump keeps an 800HP nitrous motor cool. A buddy of mine ran 1,125HP on a blown 383, and it ran cool with the stock pump. The shop that built both these engines will not even consider using an electric pump.

I dont think there is an upgrade for the waterpump... no need realy. A stock water pump is fine and is easily up for the job. I tend to belive the electric pumps are better off on a drag car than on a street car, but there are many people who use them on the street with no problems.
Motor looks good, where/who did you get the perimiter bolt conversion from?
