1)After you go to the time and effort to remove
belt cover,
belts,
coolant
radiator,
hoses,
battery ground,
alternator,
power steering pump,
timing belt,
covers,
AC tentioner,
TB rollers,
WHY NOT?
I have recently seen a 98k stock original water pump worn to the point that its going on the fail shelf!2) Unless you make your own, or modify a stock water pump, as far as I know they don't exist.
