GM water pumps

[steve ravet]

I need to find a water pump that fits a GM smallblock V8, reverse
rotation, with a heater core return fitting.  My V8 conversion S-10
Blazer sprung a leak in the water pump some time ago.  The motor came
from a '91 Caprice.  That car had some kind of system where the hot
water can be shut off from the heater core completely.  The water pump
doesn't have the usual heater core return fitting.  When I swapped the
motor I just teed the heater return into the lower radiator hose.  Now
that I have to replace it, I want to get a pump with a return water
fitting.  It's a serpentine belt system which means it's also reverse
rotation.  Can someone give me an application that uses a reverse
rotation V8 water pump with a heater return fitting?  I'm thinking that
an early 90's full size truck might be the thing, but the parts guy
didn't seem too anxious to let me go digging through stock.

Anxiously waiting,
