In the notes section of the Ford Racing Web site, catalog, and even the listings on Jegs/Summit/etc. it states what you will need to replace for any application. If you have the 302/345HP setup it is pretty clear that you have to throw away the timing cover, waterpump, etc. and replace it with the parts for your setup.

INSTALLATION NOTES:
See engine installation and tuning tips on page 28.
Some or all of the following items may need to be changed from your original engine
or modified for proper installation:
* This engine has a rear sump Fox style 5qt oil pan and pickup (M-6675-A50), serpentine style water pump (M-8501-C50) and timing chain cover (M-6059-D351), 4-bolt harmonic damper (M-6316-M50) and valve covers (M-6000-K302R).
* The rear sump style oil pan will work in all Fox body applications. For other style applications, see oil pans on pages 90-91.
* The timing chain cover (M-6059-D351) will work with most V-belt applications, see page 86 for other timing chain covers.
* The water pump (M-8501-C50) will work on 1986-93 Mustangs. For other applications see pages 86-87.
* The valve cover (M-6000-K302R) included will work on 1986-93 Mustangs, optional valve covers are available on pages 106-108.
* The damper is production style 1981-95 Mustang. For other applications see pages 74-75.
* The flywheel included should work for most 157-tooth manual transmission applications. For other transmission applications use a 1981 or newer 302 (50oz) flywheel, see pages 115-116.
* Distributor with steel gear must be used to be compatible with the camshaft included in the engine. See page 105 for distributor gears.
* Firing order 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 (5.0L HO and 351W).

The only thing to truly complain about with the Ford Racing engines now is the pricing. Somewhere along the line they thought they were Roush, only they don't deliver the quality and level of detail in the components that Roush does. Sad really, now we have to begin looking elsewhere for our "general purpose" engines.
