I  don't think that some of you are getting what I'm saying. You build a mirror image 13b by configuring it like so:
As it were sitting in the car, the intake and exhaust ports would be on the left side. This would be accomplished by merely reversing the rotor housings and middle housing to have the ports face to the left. This would put the cooling passages in the correct position. You'd have to make a mirror image front and rear housing -definatly do-able( but not by me).  The e-shaft and rotors wouldn't know the difference. To make a reverse oil pump, you'd use the inards and then make a mirror image pump housing. If you've gotten this far, figuring out how to configure the water pump is academic. The only thing stopping anyone from doing it is a need for one and the manufacture of a few basic parts. Easy for me to say.
