Yeah, it is. Once you get the engine in the frame on the new mounts, set your radiator in and see how much clearance you have from the pump's mount to the radiator, then talk with the company to determine the distance from the pumps mounting to end of the shaft. I know we can find a short pump, but it still has to be machined to shorten it more according to Ray's site. I think the best solution for just ease of maintenance, would be to get the WM300 parts necessary to extended the radiator further out, that would avoid having to machine a pump. VPW use to sell a kit of used parts to do that.
