Default Small block timing covers and water pumps

So, I bought my motor. It's the Ford Racing small block 427. It came with a regular rotation water pump, and I want a serpentine system. Digging around on fleabay, I've seen late model mustang timing covers without the fuel pump boss and castings that look like the associated water pump would not have a back cover, but the truck 5.8L unit looks different. What I'm wondering is can the old style timing cover I have be used with a reverse rotation water pump, and what part do I ask for. I would rather not have to pull the pan and harmonic balancer to change the timing cover, and my guess is if such an animal exists, the truck unit would move more water.
