premo-s12 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 here's the deal. i have an 87 nissan 200sx. the 302 and trans is mounted. i have limited space. i had a 95 GT for a parts car but with a bad motor. i bought a long block for an 88 GT. so here's my parts list: 88 gt stang long block front sump oil pan front sump timing chain cover edlebrock 4bbl intake mani mac shorty headers 95 gt stang accessories + brackets 95 gt stang crank pulley now, you might already know the water pump is NOT compatable with the front sump timing chain cover. the only water pumps i could find have hella long shafts and wont work. my question is this, what water pump will bolt onto a front sump timing chain cover but give me a low rise (which is key as i have limited space) that will work w/my 95 GT stang accessories and crank pulley? thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spraguepsycho1 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Ford sells part #M-8501-D50, 1 1/2" shorter than the stock pump, and it's a direct fit on the 5.0 timing cover. They also sell part# M-8501-A50 for the older 289/302/351 which is a new timing cover with the D50 pump which makes the pump sit back 1 3/4" further back than the stock pumps on those engines. These are all listed in the Ford Power Parts catalog, might have to download the full catalog to find it, not sure if it's in their online html version or not. You might also need part# 8509-M which is the 3 piece pully kit, waterpump, crank, and alt pulley. Hope this heps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMoore56 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 If you can compare both covers on the sid where the dipstick goes into the one. You may be able to modify the 95 cover by drilling a hole into it for the dipstick and then be able to use tha cover and water pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premo-s12 Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 sweet, thanks! ill have a look at those part numbers. as far as drilling a hole goes, i have NO idea where the timing cover as ive moved twice since i started this project and it seems to have disappeared. the though did cross my mind though lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMoore56 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Don't tell me you one of those black holes where things disappear into also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premo-s12 Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share Posted November 7, 2007 yup! I'm one of them! haha I lost a cover for my steering wheel adapter just today haha normally I'm pretty organized when it comes to the garage but after moving twice with everything half taken apart I guess its bound to happen *shrug* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
