One Thing is for Certain

Vendor thought that this port block off a 350D might work on this little pump if I machined it down a little. 'Taint a gonna work 'cause the oil feed holes are staggered thru the block and I'd be cutting into the passeages.

Okay, I gotta just stop and think a minute; there must be a way to do this..... :>)

Yes, I just got back from kickin' on every machinist’s door in the county; nobody will touch it, so guess it is up to me.

Heck, doesn't look like that big a deal.

Thanks,

It would be easier to make a new block out of aluminum than to build a standoff to clear the pump.

You hit 'er right on the head. Plus, on an H, the ports have got to come out of the block at a 90 degree angle because the frame rail sets so close.

Do you think a machinist could build one of these gizmos?

In aluminum I'd go with straight threads instead of pipe threads to avoid galling. Then buy straight thread adapters with o-rings. You can get a 90 degree elbow, straight thread one side and swivel female pipe thread the other. That way you can run cheap pipe thread hose.
