So, anyone ever heard of this before??

 

darned double post!

 

Meziere's been around for awhile. They're well known in the high HP Rod, Custom, and muscle car circles. Seen 'em in the catalogs and in person. Nice Billet anodized Aluminum. It'd be cool to hook one up to the fan relay circuit or a timer, to cool the engine a few minutes after you had already turned the engine off.

If my H2O pump ever goes out, I'd buy an electric. Also, I _wouldn't_ put it on the block. I'm sure Meziere engineered it to take all the heat you can dish out and then some, and after all it is pumping hot H2O, but why not mount it on the frame or chassis and keep all that extra engine block heat away from it anyway???
