OK Josh, a couple of questions for you. What makes a good leakless water pump in your eyes? Do you want one that us an original housing that has been modified to be leakless, --or do you want a unit that is a brand new housing, new stainless shaft, and all new parts?

Also, why a 6 blade fan? Why not an original style 2 blade repro in aluminum, --or why not a 4-blade steel like has been the mainstay for decades and decades? Or, putting it a different way, if a 2 blade fan can adequately keep a "warmed over" banger motor cool in even the hottest climates, do you lose anything by going with more blades? (i.e.: more noise, more parasitic drag, less airflow at faster speeds, etc.)?? I think you do.
