Brett (Moose) did it. He has pics on this board somehwere. IIRC, it's part of his 2.5 conversion thread, so it should be easy to find via the search feature.

OK...maybe it isn't so easy to find that post. It took me WAY too long because it was burried in the "What Did You Do To Your Rover Today?" thread:

Looks like the same pump to me. In his post he said he cut a hole big enough for the threaded end of the pump nose to pass through the pulley and fan, then drilled four smaller holes to mount the pulley and fan to the pump flange.

The hole on the pulley and fan are way bigger
Than the threaded end of the pump and the flange is just a little bigger than the hole in the puley
definatly not big enough to drill through

Huh. Haven't seen a fan attachment like that before. Was there a fan that came with it? WHat does that look like?

BTW, If you take a cutoff wheel to that stud sticking out of the pulley, I suspect you'll be able to accomplish your mission, but verify this by examining your stuff first.

Never mind--I found a pic of the left side of the engine and it's viscous fan. WHat was that engine out of? I know it has the military timing cover and case, but the engine mount on the left side is not a normal 2.5 mount and there's an unusaul plate nutted to the top of the valve cover, plus an unusual rubber intake hose.
