You just need to switch tops to get the right hose outlet diameters and the wire connector is brand specific and will need to be modified -simple stake on connectors will work (I added wire so I could save the factory connector and soldered the wires to the pump. Then used gasket silicone to fill the socket for a water-tight connection)

Going to a Ford part on our SRTs in kinda Blasphemy Where as the Johnson pump sounds like a specialty company that builds pumps for very special applications and special cars...
I like the design of the Johnson pump myself.

Also someone suggested it coule be responsible for lurches when cruising too, which its been doing more now and at lower speeds, like 30-40mph all of a sudden Ill lurch forward all of a sudden for just a second. This is not the same as the tiny lurch I was talking about in another thread when just taking off, but this one is when actually cruising.
Anyway, I guess I'll be getting a johnson pump eventually or a Ford Lightning SVT unit and adapt it on the cheap.
