Dan,
Not having a V6, I only follow the discussions about them to see what new/old problems are being solved and how.
What I seem to recall about the "possible fix and discussion are (and I may be more wrong than right):
1) Jose said the later pump carries two bearings instead of the earlier pump's one, making the housing deeper
2) You'll probably have to search back to between the time Jim finished Vader but before its sale and maybe a little later. I think I recall that the possible mod came up in a slow period dealing with v6 conversions and that it was not done by Jim but another poster who had modified his pump not knowing it wasn't supposed to be done that way
. I've wondered why more follow-up was not done with this possibility.3) Here's the catch - I do not know what either pump looks like and might be ALL wrong - what I THINK I recall is that the later pump has an extra large , maybe threaded, boss to mount the fan clutch. The procedure I think I recall is that the boss and shaft were cut and the fan mount flange pressed closer to the pump housing or maybe a new mount flange was made and pressed on close to the housing.
Maybe this will give you some search help and/or direction to think about possible options.
Please send all royalties to SAOCA.
