6 bolt swap oil pump question

[smx55]

Doing a 6 bolt swap ran into the oil pump problem. I’m trying not to have to drill the block to install the 7 bolt pump …..seems like a lot of work and dont fell comfortable drill it. I saw some where I might not have to change the pump at all. Any idea’s?

You can install a full 6 bolt long block into a 2g without drilling the waterpump...

Just run a 6 bolt pump. I didnt think a 7 bolt pump was compatable at all.
