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.

am running a Renegade pump with a RS radiator

I'm running the opposite set up! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)
According to Scott at Renegade, they improved their design by adding an inlet the shape of a thermostat housing (which it appears to be) to relieve the water pressure to the impeller.
