keep in mind the unofficial rule is 10psi per 1000 rpm. unless you plan on running 8000rpm, or over 6000 rpm frequently, the 80lb pump is overkill & not needed. especially if you live in colder climates &/or run thicker oil.

Cliff...I think I'll make a bracket thanks for the info. I was already leaning in that direction but wanted some advice.

I'm also inclined to get that hardened drive shaft. Probably not necessary, but just a little bit of added insurance.
