Believe it or not, there is a big difference in a motorcraft pump versus the chain store brand X ones. I did a water pump for landscapeman once, and he bought a Napa Gold. I didn't know he was picking up a pump, so I got him a motorcraft. We compared the two side by side. The NAPA pump lacked machined surfaces on the pump housing, and the impeller was on a shaft that was too short. The impeller looked like it might fall off, where as on the Motorcraft unit it was a nice solid fit. The casting also appeared to have a fit issue. It did not lay flat. One would assume the bolts would twist it, so that it would seal, but I was glad he opted for the Motorcraft pump based on the other merits, and I didn't have to find out. For a part that should last 100K, I'd consider spending the extra $20 for quality.
