Water pump question

It's no big deal to pull the water pump. You can buy replacement gaskets individually. If you don't have a pump to compare it to, I have pics of the timing covers on my photobucket site of the std & rev. timing covers. Or try looking at the pump to see if it's got stock Ford engineering numbers cast into it. Post those and I or someone else can tell you what pump it is.

I thought Ford went to all rev. rotation after the switched on the Mustang and went to a serpintine belt... good to know.

What car did the motor come out of originally and what year is it ?

The Vic serpentine setup, really isn't. It uses a serpentine style belt, only there's two belts instead of one. One runs the P/S, waterpump and Alternator, the other the A/C & Smog pump. This is a good setup to use if you want to run dual alternators or a belt driven supercharger without A/C. The P/S and Alternator are on the drivers side of the motor leaving the passenger side open for something else. I used this set on my 89 Ranger's 5.0 with a high volume iron factory pump, I used the late Vic pump on my 331 in the Comet (std volume aluminum pump)
