I am also working on the design of
 the end housings. The rear is
      quite simple.

      The front end housing
 must accommodate a water pump. Does anybody
      have any preferences for
 water pumps. 2nd gen or RX8? Or some else
      perhaps?

      The oil pump with be a
 dry sump pump with choices of several brands.

 In regard to your waterpump choice
 question I would like to comment. If
 designing a different front cover, the
 water pump chosen firstly needs
 to meet the flow requirements of the
 engine. The pulley needs to match
 with regard to belt type and width as
 well as diameter. Then replacement
 cost and availabiliry need
 consideration. Accessability at any location
 in firstly N. America and potentially
 the world should be taken into
 consideration. Possibly the pump from a
 Cummins diesel as installed in
 Dodge or Ram trucks would work.

 I like the 2nd generation RX8 pump.
 From left to right: 2nd gen RX8, 1st gen RX8 and Remedy RX8  (See
