From what I have heard, the electric ones can sometimes crap out when you need them the most, sending your temps up high. The mechanical ones are just more reliable, but if you really want to go electric, then for sure, summitracing.com

Not to be a dick, but that makes no sense to me. I have been awake all night though.

On the electric waterpumps, I would just stick with a mechanical one. From my experience with the Fbody crowd (electric water pumps are a popular mod), people say that work great but tend to fail all of a sudden w/o much warning. With how harmful overheating is to rotaries in general, I wouldn't want to take the risk.

its really not that hard IanS, especially if u have a mig welder (i borrowed my friend's), you just have to be creative and find out what fits ur style and purpose....as for me, i don't really care how "pretty" it looks, all i want is good quality, functionality, and cheap prices lol
