I'd give the guys at Kentucky Mustang a call. I'm sure they're dialed in to reputable shops in the state that could help you out. I've purchased parts from them and on the phone, their customer service us excellent.

I have a few friends in the area and one has a big shop he is making space for me. But if you have seen how I had to work on my car at my present house, I am upgrading. The area itself is quiet and slow paced which will be welcome compared to DFW. 5 minutes to the gulf and 15 minutes to the public beach 60 minutes to Talahasee.
 

Congrats and enjoy your new home........trading the Metro-mess for a quiet slow paced location is golden and, I get it..

Follow-up

I looked on Amazon to compare several different water pumps.  Most said they were bi-rotational.  However, I am unsure of the one I have here, so I ordered a new pump that stated it was bi-rotational.  Problem solved.  $100 spent.  Now I have a brand new pump that I already owned that is not of much use because I cannot see if it has straight or curved vanes unless I destroy it to take it apart.  Part of owning a boat, I guess.  Bust Out Another Thousand...

Put the pump you're not using in the box of the pump you're using, and return it!  Sal told me to say this....

Just for giggles, I checked Rockauto.  They list a Goodmark brand kit, #GMK302051264S for around $8.00

Unfortunately, it doesn't specifiy plug dimensions.  Its' also available at Summit.....

My guess is that the reman shop does this so they can turn any core into any pump.  Its common for the same pump to have different pressure output based on model.  This likely allows them to bring in core pumps by the truckload, rebuild them and then just put a model specific valve in it, put it in a box, and send it out the door.  I'd bet if you tested the output pressure it would be the same from a properly working factory original to the reman. 

 
I will have to agree about the cores. If you look up various different Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury applications there are different pump part numbers for the same physical outside pump. Granted some might have SAE or Metric high pressure fittings.

If there is a listing of the various system pressures per model, that might be helpful.

In any case, I believe all Ford factory pumps will eventually develop the infamous whine we all love…design has been around since late 70’s.
Kinda like the GM belt slipping of the 70’s and 80’s. 😂

Agreed Lt Dan. 
However, the solution to his orginal post and now a followup post, has already been given.  Foxbody brackets with the Lee p/s pump ala; foxbody style built with saginaw internals. Myself and BB are running that pump with the borgeson system and its quiet and works great. Of course, manual steering would be another option........

I have a complete Fox 5.0 single serpentine setup on the shelf against a possible future need but I'm not sure about the timing cover.  Does the reverse rotation pump require a particular cover?  The one on the heap came from a "Standard" 5.0 which uses a clockwise rotation pump.  I had to drill it for the dip stick but that's all.

BB,
on my coupe which has a fox 5.0 engine and original serp setup, I purchased the timing chain cover from Late Model Restoration. Two choices for covers: part# LRS-6019BK includes gaskets and front seal.  Part# LRS-6019D is just the cover. Both covers have the dipstick hole and include a small plug to plug the roller blocks original dipstick location.

I have the Lee pump on my Borgeson system and it works just fine. Quiet as a mouse vs the moaning rebuilt Ford pump that would wake up Helen Keller.
Also purchased a bottle of their recommended fluid, didn't use all of it so, it's in the trunk just in case I need to give it a little sip. To me, that ain't a big deal........
