If you can fit the super core in the plenum do it. You can temper the excess heat by cracking a window open a tad. You'll not regret it IMHO.

I run that huge 4 Row, Super Duty Pricey one, out of 73 - 79 Camper & Trailer Specials and F-350 HD's.
I also run a recapture system because of coolant expansion 385 series engines experience when shut down.

I believe timing covers are same, since pump casting is the same as is the harmonic Balancer. The difference in pumps is not size/shape but direction of rotation. The impeller inside is what's different. V drive pumps won't cool in serpentine applications as it wants to circulate coolant backwards. ...
