My family and I are moving soon, and the one requirement of our new place is going to be to have a huge garage!

IF it is the Opti and you have to go in there anyway, you have an opportunity to put in an electric water pump. You have to pull the pump to get the opti off anyway and the electric ones eliminate all the drive hardware and seals that can be another potential oil leak too. It's more work and money, but you can work on the pump housing out of the car, so you can get everything done without bending over the engine bay.
I love mine cause the pump doesn't care if you are sitting still in traffic or going 100mph, it just keeps the coolant flowing at a nice steady pace. It never gets over pressure so it saves popped heaters if you really thrash through the rpm's, and doesn't care if the car is idling either.

One HUGE issue tho... It's like playing Russian Roulette if you don't have an idiot light somewhere to let you know it has stopped running. A couple of LT5s have cooked for that reason.
