Hey guys , im starting to order some stuff for my motor ( 454 ) should I go with short style or long style water pump ?

All Monte's whether it's a small or big block use the long water pump. The fan shrouds length is designed for the long style system. Nothing says that you cant use the short pump but the accessories such as the alternator, power steering pump, A/C is going to have be all Corvette style. For ease of parts availability I would go with the long pump set-up.
