Try Summit racing for overhaul kits. Next time you attempt to remove a SBF waterpump, use heat and a gentle amount or torque to get those bolts out. It can be done without snapping those bolts off. And use thread sealer on those four bolts (two per side, top and bottom of the port holes) I use ordinary pipe thread paste for this, you can also apply antiseize to the bolt shanks to keep them from corroding to the aluminum, you probably won't need that as the pipe dope will keep the coolant from seeping past the threads.
