Hey all, still getting everything to start my build, tore the engine down, getting ready to rebuild it. Its a 302/5.0 from a 91 mustang. I'm trying to figure out the water pump, timing cover, rad, and accessories bracketry.
So, am I to understand that the CRII uses a passenger side lower rad hose because a rad with a drivers side lower rad hose would cause clearance issues with the steering rack? The rad mine came with is passenger side, so, my plan was to use a standard rotation (clockwise) water pump with passenger side outlet and a early model timing chain cover with the pointer cast into the drivers side, and an aftermarket 3/4 hole damper with timing marks on both sides. I'm also looking at this setup from CVF:

but wonder alternator clearance is an issue with these cars. If it is they also make this model:

but I don't see an option for passenger side lower rad hose
Lastly, there's also alternator and power steering kits that use the Saginaw or Ford components:

Would this work if I had a Mustang II power rack?
My front end components are all Heights UCA and LCA, GM 1 piston calipers.
