where can i get a NEW water pump housing?

ok the title says it all... I have a 85 GSL-SE and Have been working on the bould for some time now. I to the cooling system and I am wanting to go all new. I looked on mazdatrix and atkins, but I cant find a Water pump housing. The one that I have is trash, tons of corrosion. I just dont see it being perfect and clean ever again. so does anyone know where I can find a new water pump housing?

I searched and I couldn't find one myself. I had to get a new water pump and chose GNB and I've been pretty satisfied with the choice. I'm thinking of going with an FC water pump now so I can have another sensor as a thermostat for my e-fans. Just some food for thought.

Maybe someone else knows where a new housing can be found, I personally do not know.

its expensive, but if you need a new one, Mazda is the only place to go. list is $365.54

For that price, if i wasn't doing a restoration, I would go with s4 stuff every time.

i agree, the price has changed a LOT, i recall it being about $65 a couple years ago.

i did look at the S4 part, and its NLA....

I meant a "used" S4 housing, around here the aluminum ones seem to hold up much better than their cast iron counterparts.
