Anti sieze lube ? Most pumps for the 5.0 are aluminum. Some 302's are cast and h.d.
Can I put one on without problems, with a stock radiator?
Florida is too hot anyway, so I don't think it will run too cool. Got them forged pistons now!!

Option for what? Remind us what you're working on again...

You have to make sure you have the correct rotation and pump height for your FEAD or you'll have cooling and/or belt alignment issues...

A roller 5.0 with the serpentine belt- AND A/C!
I have no problem slappin' hose into place(?)!
The alignment issue is concerning though-
Thanks!

A roller 5.0 with serpentine will take a reverse rotation pump. I'd suggest a new high-flow unit like Weiand or Edelbrock. Not cheap, but built like a tank!

What are your alignment concerns? Usually the only alignment issues I see are when an aftermarket crank damper is used, then a spacer is required to fit the crank pulley in the proper plane of the remaining pulleys...
