If you get a standard rotation water pump, you will have to get a new WP pulley to match. Or you can convert to a V-belt system...
or do it the easy way.. buy one of these...

custom bracket/tensioner = $$$
IMO id want more of the belt grabbing than barely rubbing

i have got over 400 miles on the motor like this without ANY problems. This was actually recommended to me by a VERY reputable race shop...
and you dont need a custom bracket... just need to take your face off the bong every now and then, and look around

If you REALLY wanna run against me. I'd be more than happy to oblige!
If you don't hit anything again... that is!

RE: water pump question
Isn't there a way that you can clock or flip the tensioner or something like that? So instead of pushing the belt down to create tension, it pulls it up toward the hood to do it? If that is an option you can do it how Adder has it but it would be grabbing the waterpump more. I don't know if you can do that but it seems like I saw something like that somewhere.

RE: water pump question
adder i bought one of those alternator kits off my buddy. he said to run a v belt system i need a new water pump that spins in opposite direction. he also said i can get it from a local parts store from an older mustang that spins the right way. so my question is what year?
thanks
thanks

RE: water pump question
if you have the alternator kit that i linked, you can use your stock pump without any problems.
IF YOU CONVERT TO AN OLDER STYLE STANDARD ROTATION PUMP YOU NEED TO GET A V BELT SYSTEM. I do not know of any companies that make a serpentine style ribbed water pump pulley
