I haven't looked under the front cover on my motor in a while. I have noticed that where the vacuum pump sits there is a protrusion in the front cover. I am looking for some place to put a pully to run a mechanical belt driven fuel pump. Something like a Mitusa or Aeromotive belt driven. My questions are:

Is there something under there that i could machine and attach a small extension(1/2" diameter shaft) to so that i could drive a small fuel pump?

What rpm ratio does the Vacuum pump/ power steering pump turn in relation to the crankshaft.

My first gen has a cross member in the way and i can't just mount a Mitusa.
 
I think the vacuum pump runs at crank speed...the dimple in the cover is clearance for the vacuum pump gear in another application...I don't thing the dodge app gear is that thick.

Should work...I know my billet front cover has a provision for a mechanical pump machined into the cover!

Does your billet front cover require pulley modification?
 
Thanks for the info. Looks like the a/c mount will be best.
