Thanks fellas -- I appreciate everyone covering my shifts while we're out of service smile

Mike B -- A 350?? Aren't *you* the funny one. Seriously, a 350 would probably bolt in but I have a 4-53T and the RT-610 that both need a job. We took some measurements last weekend and it appears to require minimal fabrication or modification -- at the most, we'll need to swap out the tranny cross member. We might have to do some banging on the inner fenders. I still have dibs on that front axle of yours, right?

According to Leid's, the 4-53T idles about where the 305 does (~500 rpm) and the pump maxes out around 2,500 RPM which is where the 4-53T cruises, so I think I'm good. Remember -- that pump was designed to be driven by a babbited 235.

Dave -- Not your fault.
