Default Reverse water pump for a 351w from 1974 ?

Hi, I am building a FFR Roadster Mk 3 in My garage. The engine I am going yo use is an 351 Windsor from a 1974 Gran Torino. I bought the engine without any brackets or pullys. The alternator, the waterpump and the hydrobooster pump requires brackets and pullys so I bought a CFR Kit for a Mustang 5.0 that requires a reverse rotation water pump.
As I couldn't find a reverse pump for My 74 engine I try to find other solutions. Two possible solutions are - two separate belt system - or - an electric waterpump.
The two sepate serpentine belt system requires - a dual-belt crank pully and the electric waterpump has to be supported by an extra idler-wheel. Do someone outthere have a better solution or could You recommend where to find the pully and the electric pump ?

You have the same issue I had. Your motor has the timing cover for a standard rotation water pump. You can use the timing cover and pump from a 90's F150 with 5.8. I was able to use this waterpump and the rear stamped cover from the supplied standard rotation water pump without changing the timing cover. The exit ports from the pump do not perfectly line up, but well enough to seal and not restrict the waterflow.

Somewhere late 80's to 90's, they changed from V belts to serpentine. that's when the reverse rotation water pumps were introduced.

If you play with the rear coverplates to the waterpumps and gaskets, you may get lucky like I did. Otherwise, a new timing chain cover is only $80 or so here in the states.
