Engine is same as yours. I have part numbers for everything so if you ever need something shoot me a PM. I really struggled with the &)((*&()& pump leaking between the pump and backing plate. That is when I determined to use loctite on the bottom bolts. I retorqued about 5 times over 2 months and zero leaks. Another trick you can use and its a pretty good one is put some Bars leak in the radiator, it will seal all those pesky leaks, a half a bottle would be plenty. I bet 75% of the ford water pumps weep but unless you have a polished engine you might never know it. If you have not replaced the crappy oil pressure line to your sending oil gauge change it out, the POS push pin will leak, run down the engine and convince you it a valve cover or manifold. Some shop in florda sells a stainless steel braided line with the fkup britsh thread for the oil gauge, it works perfect but should be standard on a $40k plus roller.
