I see aluminum water pumps for inline 6 engines on sale on Ebay from time to time and I was wondering if they have any advantages on a street engine versus a stock type cast iron pump.

Only one advanatge I can think of is that they won't rust.

The 292 aluminum ones have an extra, threaded 3/4''npt hole in the top if you wish to run water to say your new intake manifold. I don't believe the 250 alum ones do, but you could add one if desired. There are a couple ways to run water to the intake jacket if needed.
