Oh and i've always used parts store water pumps. Never had a problem with them. Got one on my stroker right now.

A water pump is one of those things that I absolutely don't care to spend a lot of money or time on. If it works, it works, and the last two I've had on my car were parts store water pumps. I only replaced the last one because the engine was out of the car and it was cheap insurance. The old one was still working just fine.
Now, if I were to do an electric water pump, that's a different story.
