The RX8 engine solves the low profile water pump problem nicely.
     For all others it is not that hard to cut down the stock  pump as in these photos.
     Just takes a little work with a dia grinder and a tig welder.
     The stock pump seems to pump just the right amount of flow for
     the HP generated in aircraft use while drawing less than 3 HP.

What happened to the remote side mounted pump?

Sold out. Got too expensive for most people anyway.
In theory it is better to have the pump mounted down low. If the coolant 
gets low then it still circulates. This apparently is not enough incentive to 
pay $300 for a water pump. IMHO long term the RX8 engine will take over.
