I just bought an older Rod Simpson kit that had been previously installed in another car. The kit is pretty complete except for the water pump. My question is what kind of water pumps work for this installation? Do I need one with a custom housing or are there stock ones out there that work? Most of my research so far seems to indicate a Chrysler pump with a custom housing, but I would prefer a stock unit. I haven't bought a motor yet, but I'm looking at a 283.

The simpson and renegade pumps were nearly identical at one time, I've heard the renegade has evolved slightly with some casting clean up and modified piping connections.
They both work just fine.
Remember the key to sucess is KISS.
