Mike, I considered the same possibility but the pumps seem to be not the problem availability wise. I think they are actually from an Explorer or something similar. The timing covers and pulleys seem to be the discontinued items.

Richard, I did consider the Snow White setup but it uses something like an Opel water pump I think and I had concerns about how much water flow it had. I could be stone wrong on that concern, but I also wanted to try the Ford setup just because it was Ford.
