You can get a 302 water pump kit from ARP, but it will not have the water pump
accessory bracket bolts like you are talking about.

If you call ARP, you can send the bolts in and they will send you
the right ones in exchange. Dont know why they dont have kit for it though.

What I did was get a 3/8 nut to use as spacer on the 5/16 bolt
between the water pump and accessory bracket to push
the bracket out that little bit like the stock bolts do.

It's a bit of a pain getting the front bracket on and off, but it works fine
and everything lines up properly.
