Building a 52 F1 with 302. Block is 87 FI block set up with carb. Timing cover changed to 70's era with mechanical fuel pump. Water pump is from 180 /81 T-Bird with driverside inlet. Cannot find V-belt set up that would work. Most after market pullies call for 289/early 302 pumps. March has nice set up but way out of my Pocket book range. Can any one give me some input.
you need a standard rotation water pump and then you'll need the right brackets and accessories.... if you have powersteering it can be a little painstaking finding a bracket if not then an alt bracket runs about $10, $15 if you want it chrome.... depending what side your water pump is dumping on will decide what bracket you need as well.... if you have a drivers side dump then you need the 70s 302 bracket, i've got one that i'd be willing to part with for like $25.... the passenger side dump bracket... well it'd be easier to make your own then buy one... they go from anywhere between $75-$150, i'm actually working on getting one written in CADD so i can send it to a CNC shop and have a few made in billet alluminum.... i'll see what they cost to make and decide what i'll be selling those for.... march also makes a Vbelt powersteering bracket they're around $80 from summit i dont know what pump they're setup for though....

heres the power steering brackets...
next you'll need to know what balancer you're going with 4 bolt or a 3 bolt?
since its a 5.0 then you're probably using the internalley balanced setup which means you'll need a 4 bolt pulley, which you can get on ebay pretty easy you'll need a 2 groove for power steering or not doesn't matter and a single groove water pump pulley.... i've gone through the whole mess of brackets and pulleys when it comes to fords so i should be able to help
I bought a set of serpentine belt pulleys (lower, water pump, and alternator) for 70 bucks and change on eBay. I usually make all my own accessory mount brakets, so I didn't have to worry about them.... Might want to check there and see if someone has a similar setup for a 4 pulley, I would imagine you still have the power steering, too? If not the $70.00 set and some fabricating will make a nice set up. Oh yeah, I also switched to a low mount alternator and got more of the clutter off the top of the engine....
