i beleive so. The housing is different i know for a fact. Perhaps a 3dr one will fit but its then not origional. Im sure ford changed for a reason. Maybe it has more/less bolt holes to bolt to the block etc? Paul at nyrs will know for sure aswell as a few other folks

Just found this link for you

it's the pipe leaving the top of of the 500 pump lines up perfect with the 500 thermostat houseing where a differant pump won't line up as good

Why a 500 pump damo - could you not just run a 4x4 pump as they must be of equal flow if not better than a 500 item
