Does anybody have opinion on this water pump?

I have this pump brand new in a box still havent ever used. I hate the inlet design. Mine doesnt thread in even remotely close to what the OP photo shows. Im scared to even put thread sealer on because of how tight the fit is that it will crack the housing trying to tighten the neck in there... Extremely nice pump itself very well made and nice finish. I run moroso restrictors and no T stat. Even with stock style water pumps but I just haven't bolted this pump on to try yet building 2 more small blocks in the next year or two and will try it on one of them. Best input I can give you as of now.
