Ron,

I'm using the short pump. Because the engine is built on a race block it has an external oil pump and uses serpentine (flat) belts. Guess where that left me ... absolutely nothing could be bought. So I made the entire front end setup. Bought 7075 plate and bar on e-bay and milled and turned all of the parts including two idlers. We'll see how this works when it's fired someday ;>)
