If thats what size you are looking for I have one for you. On the cheap!!:beer:
 
ur probably gonna need a bigger pump just my .02 cents. got ram assit on my yota with 2x6 ram and slows down steering alot. i plan on getting a trail gear pump
 
With the right tweaks to the axle you can use an 8" cylinder and if you run longs you have nothing to worry about as they now turn 45*. The stock pump will be slow(to say the least)with full hydro. You can mod the spring and restrictor but it will have a short life. I highly recommend the PSC pump kit, its cheaper than trail gear and its PSC.


Just my 2 cents.:beer:

Hey Jim what size tire you gonna use? I used a stock yota pump with cooler and filter added on to the system with my 85 pickup pushing a 2in bore 6 in stroke by 1.125 rod cheif cyc for a long time. It worked fine, the steering was fair at idle but reved up in low it was just fine. I'd go with the Trail gear pump if you end up going aftermarket. ThePSC stuff is great if your trying to impress someone but always seems overpriced. I got my orbital from rockstomper.com, same one I showed you on friday, works excellent, has outlived two buggys and one toyota. They have a ton of experience with full hydro can help you out I'm sure.
-I'm going to use a stock yota pump on my sami/buggy cause it sure is nice to walk right into any parts store and get a pump in BFE instead of waiting on PSC or TG to send me another 200 dollar pump to get me going while I wait on warrenty claim from one of them. And yes the high dollar ones will go out to...
 
When i did my full hydro on my yota buggy I just used a early 80's chevy PS pump. You will have to fab up a few brackets, and buy the pulley, but you can still go into any auto parts store and pick one and it will push enough psi for full hydro. Mine works great.
 
Use a 6" ram if you use high steer arms. Couple of us just learned our lessons from running a 8" ram. They have too much throw for a high steer setup, we were snapping the high dollar studs left and right. I interally limited mine 7/8" both ways and fixed the problem. There is caculator on psc web site to help firgue out wich orbital to run.
 
You guys do know that you can shorten a cyl. right?
