My water pump was a meziere unit that Kieth Craft put on it, man she worked perfect. I have been putting on electric water pumps on all my race, performance street, prostreet vehicles for a long time now and had no water cooling issues at all. I have had some parts failure (some) not many but that was a different brand (CSI?), but the last couple of meziere units, no problems. I think they cool very well, the best thing I liked was the single belt for alternator only, used the CHP bracket only, didn't order the pulleys with. They kind of gave me problem trying to order the no pulley (option) but they finally did and I believe it only cost me like $125, nice piece, polished and all the hardware included. Mounted real easy, had to trim one spacer due to the thickness of the meziere unit's flange versus stock water pump thickness, wasn't much like an 1/8" or so. To me it was best money well spent. As far as the solid motor mount issue goes, think about short wheel base car, IRS mount rear suspension, new poly mounts that don't flex a whole lot ut enough to make the sidepipes touch the body and in my case made the air cleaner rub, coupled to the fact that not really a daily driver with a lot of creature comforts, put solid motor mounts on it with either a poly trans mount(worked for me) or a solid mount( don't know about that) and drive and abuse that mother vitually trouble free mine was. Although opinions will vary and be voiced I speak from mine own.
Good Luck
