I know you need an uprated alternator to cope with the power the engine draws. Perhaps one from a 440? Waterpump; I can't see why it would be a problem to use the standard pump but I'll have to get someone else to confirm that.

Waterpumps are the same, my one spent 6 weeks on my 1.7 and forever since on the F7R
