I need to replace my water pump, and while I'm in there, I'd like to take care of the old, rusty looking AC/Power Steering pump bracket (the car is still stock and has the AC).

Debating whether to keep the refinish the current bracket, either at home or sending out to get powder coated, or to see if I can by new.

This part looks to be the exact same bracket.

Part Number: FMS-M-8511-B351

It's for swapping in a Windsor, but that's obviously not what I'm doing.

Anyone know if that bracket is the same bracket that is stock in a 5.0?

When I installed my Kenne Bell blower a few weeks ago I had to modify that bracket. I brought it to work, sand blasted it, primed and painted it semi gloss black. Looks good now and saved a few $$. If you take the time to prep it right, paint will last a long time. I also replaced my water pump with a hi flow aluminum one while I was in there.
