all you'll need is a reverse rotation waterpump and fan (or use E fans), serps turn the WP backwards compared to a V belt setup.

So does the cooling itself flow differently? or can I use the water pump from my V-belt car...? Or does the block itself require a reverse flow pump with a v-belt pulley?
