water pump for 360 mild race

I bought/installed a Milodon hi-flow pump in about year 2000 . It comes with 8 blades, an anti-cavitation plate, and the big bearing and shaft. It is still on the car, and has been spinning the;
A/C hi-attack angle, 7-blade all-steel fan; since day-one, some 100,000 plus miles ago; allbeit on a Ford Thermostatic clutch. I think I paid ~80 bucks for it at the time, which was about 2 or 3 times the stocker, but in the end, it has been the cheapest pump I ever bought.
This pump has seen a lotta lotta 7000rpm shifts, and has never thrown a belt.
