This is a modification of Don's idea. Move the water pump
down low on the cool side of the block so when you lose
a bit of water the pump is not sucking air. Great idea Don. 
Should give one more time to get it on the ground in the
event of a cooling system problem.

Second advantage is it gives more clearance under low cowls
so there is no need to cut down the stock pump.

We all have a few Mazda pumps lying around so all we need
is a casting to convert it into a high efficiency pump.
Water straight in the back side and straight up and out.

This is a first draft rough cut. I'll add a lower pivot
and upper adjustment tang so the belt tension can be adjusted.
Just like an alternator. Any comments?
