[Shotimes] Ok to leave 3.2L oil pump on my 3.2L for my '89?

[John Weidenbenner]

1. Use the 3.2 oil pump. It has 25% increased capacity over the 3.0 pump. It
will leave a gap about 3" long on the side of the lower timing belt dust
cover. There are two ways to close the gap. Cut off part of a 3.0 pump and
attach with existing dust cover screws, or fashion a sheet metal cover to
cover the gap.

2. Use all the 3.0 accessories - covers, pulleys, etc. Use the 3.0 oil pan.
Use the 3.0 injectors too. Most people also use the 3.0 intake cams, since
the lift is greater than the 3.2 intake cams. Note - you have to cut a
casting boss off the front 3.2 head to provide clearance for the 3.0
alternator mount.

3. I don't know, but drilling/tapping a hole in the head will allow the 3.0
coil pack position to be used.
