Tried and proven by various TPR members:

Typically a remote mount water pump up front near the radiator.  It 
plumbs to the front of the engine nicely with the appropriate cover 
plates and it lets you have a flat firewall.  Expensive and it will take 
a while to plumb.

For awhile they were available for the 351C in 180 and 192-degree versions; the 180 supply dried up a couple of years ago and they have been on perpetual backorder.  I just looked and now the 192-degree version is no longer listed either. :<(

I had a no-name pump with a custom-modified impeller from Dennis Quella on my engine, and although it worked fine for years, when I took it apart to rebuild it as a stroker I found that water had eaten away at the soft aluminum inside and it was on the verge of breaking through.  Actually, I only learned of that after the fact when the engine builder told me he had repaired it with bondo.  When the motor broke shortly after it was rebuilt, I took it upon myself to spring for a new Edelbrock water pump.
