Try looking into a Borg-Warner #420 water pump. I have a book on how to put a v-8 in a pinto and thats the one it suggeests becasue of its shortness.

Here's a look. It's from a 94/95 Mustang 5.0. The impeller had to be changed for correct flow. The pulleys are Ford Performance, single belt. Contact Ken at Performance Motors in Valley Springs, SD 605-757-6281

From the timing chain cover to the center of the pulley...4 1/2 inches. Ken changed the impeller at no charge.

Ford has a short waterpump listed in the Ford Racing catalog with some of the necessary pieces to accomodate it.
