i measured the pan and the pump there both the same size as the last, checked the part number. it only doesnt fit over the side the pump sits like half a inch, is that normal tull u put the gaskets on? it doesnt seem right.

throw the gasket on for shits but you can't rely on a gasket for clearance, sounds like the wrong pump. The wrong pump I installed was doing the same thing about a 1/2" too big-smashfreakB

i havnt accauly test fit any yet. i ended up geting fms gt40p headers though. i got them off corral but they sell them on 50 resto.
btw in back of the lower intake does your block have a screw in freeze plug or a lil hole with threads. the one im building does but the freeze plug wont go in, and my other block doesnt even have anything back there

I am not sure I usually have the machine shop replace all my plugs. But off the top of my head I think it is a press in.
