the waterpump came on the reman engine i bought.. the engine is from an 1996 explorer!
and im using all of the F150 accessory brackets.. and they stick a little farther out than the explorer brackets.. so the pulley's are different.
BUT i cant use the F150pump becuase the bolt pattern on different it wont bolt on the block
note: this engine is going in a 1989 F150

yes but ahhh come on the engine just came out of the shop.. i dont wanna open it again to swap the cover.. hmm maybe thats the only option :S...
or to make a custom pulley spacer type but dunno
a friend has a 1990 stang and i can buy the cover from him.. those stangs use the same pump as f150's

pump
Ford changed the timing cover and water pump design I think in 1994
You will have to change the cover. If you make a spacer it will put too much side tension on the pump bearings and kill the pumps life.

ok!!. i swapped the pulley from one pump to another.. so it has the same bolt pattern for the pulley and the fan clutch and now i just need to make a 1 3/4 " spacer for the pulley to line with the other belts and thats one less problem
its good to have a friend with a machine shop sometimes!
in the future ill change the timing cover.. or the belt system..
or just put an Efan on there thats better i think
