I'd go back to a stock water pump,a thermostatic mechanical fan,a stock radiator and shroud.

Welcome from Austria. Build it stock. Summit has nice brass copper original fit radiators

If that's all you have try to buy a donor truck to rob parts from. Buying individual items will get expensive real quick.

I'd go mechanical too.

Welcome! Even on my race car I run a mechanical water pump. I'd suggest starting a project thread for general help or threads in daughter forums for specific issues.

Welcome to the team!!!!
I would do a stock water pump, electrics waterpumps work very good on race cars, but can be a problem on daily drivers. Most salvage yards will have the needed brackets to finish out your accessory brackets. Stock radiator, with electric fans should cool the beast, your Kwik wire set up should have provisions for the fans. Make sure you use relays for the fans, and mount then close to the fans. Keep posting your progress.....
