Exclamation Water Pump

I found a water pump that fits a 1987 - 302 - Bronco/F150/Econoline . Why will this not fit a 1971 302 ? Does a 1971 f100 water pump have a backing plate ? I am hoping I can use my 1971 backing plate and 1971 gasket to use the 1987 waterpump ??? Or is the spacing/clearence from the radiator wrong ? Any way why will the 1987 not fit ?????????

Later model water pumps are set up for serpentine belts and also reverse flow impellers. I assume you have a v belt set up if stock. It would be wise to get the correct pump. Good luck.
