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
    attached).

I'd like to see all accessories driven from the eccentric shaft or gear box. Built in water pump on the housing, perhaps an alternator in the psru  This would keep frontal area remarkably small.
