If you want to go this route also check out the www.gt40s.com site and do a
search. I think the part number have been flushed out. I also recall a
non-reverse rotation pump, but not sure. I think you can also find other
solutions such as remote electric pumps that work well for some of the guys
running them if your willing to forgo the use of your mechanical fan.

Randy, et al,
I can't
answer your specific question, but, if you are trying to save space,
there is
a way to save an inch and a half in engine length.
Swapping to a late model
5.0 Explorer or '94-'95 5.0 Mustang serpentine belt
drive is supposed to give
you a 27" length from the back of the block to the
front of the accessory
pullies. The key elements are the timing cover, the
reverse rotation water
pump and a four bolt crankshaft damper with a shorter
length serpentine
pulley.
A little fabrication would be needed to change the
alternator/generator
bracket to move it back and switch it to a serpentine
pulley and craft an
idler/adjustment pulley on the left side of the engine to
reverse the water
pump rotation, but the parts shouldn't be too expensive.
There is an
Explorer timing cover on Ebay now with an opening bid of $.99 and
Buy It Now
of $15.00. It's the one you would need with a recessed area for the
water
pump impeller, rather than being flat. Or you could buy the $67.95 new
one!
Of course, this all assumes there is nothing to prevent using a
different
crankshaft damper and pulley and I don't have a Tiger here it check
that out
right now.
