I was looking into something along those lines myself but gave up since (I
agree with you) spending $100+ on a water pump just isn't worth it for the
average street driver (and occasional track runner).
As for the quality of Milodon parts, EXCELLENT. I used to run them on my
old BB Chevy and now have their Timing Gear on my 3.9L. They're virtually
"Bullet-Proof".
