I'm pretty sure that you can use your stock waterpump. I'm not sure about the plumbing though. If you use PVC it would have to rated for the high temps.

You should use aluminum piping it will help disipate heat but might get to cool

I used water pipe thats made from steal so i can weld it. I used the stock water pump but make sure not to run the car without water because it will tear up the seals on the water pump. here is a link to mine

I sort of thought you had a rear mounted radiator, but I was pretty sure you had a back seat too.

I used to have a front one till i did the 5.8L swap because i wanted more space up front.
