I've come to learn, with huge help from this forum, that my block is a '78 (D8BE-GE) and my head is from an '80-82 (E0BE-BB). When purchasing parts, I notice minor part number differences, but in most cases look identical. Take these water pumps:
CARDONE 5521119 (1978 FORD FAIRMONT 3.3L 200cid L6)

CARDONE 5521112 (1968 FORD MUSTANG 3.3L 200cid L6)
https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=680238&cc=1132311&jsn=12747
I assume I should purchase the 1978 Fairmont water pump, or? Any insight?
