So what do you do, remove the pump assembly from the original, leaving just the case behind & attaching a metal plate over it, and then inserting this between the lower radiator hose? Seems pretty simple to me, definatly going to need a bigger alternator 
I don't see much of a benefit though, other than the parasitic (sp?) loss, but I think the reliablility makes up for that, mechanical tends to work better than electrical. Sure would make the engine look pretty though. Wonder if there's any flow stastistics/etc for the stock waterpump floating round.

Also, you wouldn't have to worry about cavitation @ high-RPM
