Maybe it's really a Milodon water pump:

I have a Milodon pump.  It's light.  It feels like it is die cast.  I'm not sure if that's the correct term, but it is lighter than Edelbrock pumps I've had in the past.  It has the thermostat bypass port.  It has a backing plate.

It's also $20 cheaper than the flowkooler pump.
