I'm doing an engine swap on my 5.0 90 GT and I have to buy a new harmonic balancer and water pump. I found these on summit racing and i'm wondering which one?

For the water pump is this good?

That's a great price on the water pump- I'm running the same one and I paid $49.99 for mine from Jegs. It seems to be identical to a stock 5.0 water pump, so unless you feel the need for something fancy, I say go for it. The OEM pumps usually last a pretty long time, and most seem to agree that the average street car doesn't really need a high flow / high volume pump.

Not too familiar with the FMS balancers, I went with a Performance Products Powerforce, which goes for about $100 total with the necessary spacer. No complaints, it looks to be a pretty high quality part and it seemed to smooth out my engine compared to the old stocker that was starting to go. You'll probably need different pulley bolts for the Powerforce- I can't recall if I needed longer or shorter ones at the moment- but it's no big deal, any hardware store should have the right ones for a couple bucks.
