Also, I CANNOT get my water pump out no matter what I do!!!!! I've sprayed pb blaster on it but to no avail. Any suggestions??? Also, speaking of oil parts, I have a square bottom oil pan on my 98 mustang gt. I don't think it's stock and it holds 7 1/2 qts. Can't be stock, right? Doesn't look like the Moroso one though.

The oil pump is behind the timing cover, it slides over the snub of the crankshaft. When I changed my water pump I just beat it with a hammer till it fell out.

Thanks for the input guys. Sorry for bringing this thread back to life, but I didn't think it was that big of a deal. So, looks like I'm gonna throw a edelbrock high flow water pump in but I'm not messing with the oil pump till I do my head swap next spring.
