Default Water Pumps

I think that this is a quick one. I have readied my Mustang EFI motor and removed everything up front except the alternator and the existing water pump. The alternator has been relocated on an alloy bracket low on the drivers' side to reduce its potential to disturb air flow in front of the air intake for the EFI. So now these two components will be driven by a gilmer belt arrangement by the crankcase pulley. Problem is the water pump on it, although a new one it seems, has to be a reverse rotation (was driven CCW by serpentine belt) and the spare one I have is also a reverse rotation! I wanted to buy a standard (clockwise) rotation pump with the lower outlet on the passenger side and have not been able to find one so far.

I assume that these are easily available and that they will fit the timing cover that is one there now? Any suggestions re a part number or possible sources would be appreciated.
