2Hr Water Pump Change
To day I completed my first water pump change on my 302ci T-Bird . The task consisted of new water pump/gasket, thermostat housing gasket, new upper and lower hoses and new heater hoses. No runs, no drips, no errors. I had it done in 2h 27m. It my not sound like much to to Ford buffs but I think it is good for my first time. There is also no pesky steel fan to deal with just two electric fans, that may have made it easier. Just wanted to share and compare.

My pump is driven by my timing belt. No way it would take 2hours and 37min to do it 
. That's not bad given that was your first time and all
