homemade gen 3 setup

Ive been researching this for a while. There is some info out there but only bits and pieces. I know there has to be a few people on here that have made their own setup. I already have the halidex pump and im looking for the t444 pump mount. My main question is with the drive gear. What do you use for that?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Pictures would be great. I work at a welding and machine shop so building and modifying parts wont be a problem. Thanks

You have to get the gear that was on the DT444e power steering pump and machine the gear to fit the Haldex pump.

I might have misread but I thought I saw something about having to change something with the pump so it had the correct rotation?

Yes. Gotta turn the center housing around.

Just thinkin out loud here. Any reason why you couldn't just use the power steering pump itself off the t444e that already bolts to the resivoir

It's not a pump designed for a 7.3 hpop system.

Well I got the gear and pump resivoir. Just gotta bend up some lines.

I used hydraulic hoses, if you can find the steel lines that fit the length you need.

I was thinking just using hydraulic lines. Wasnt sure if there was a reason for the hard steel lines.

Finding and bending them was a hassle for me.

Now for the extra oil feed line for the reservoir did you just run it off the plug on the side of the block for the mains like the swamps kit?

Have you had any issues with your homemade setup or anything you would do different?

I sold it to get Hypermax rods. And he hasn't ran it yet. So I can't say.

Where did you get your t444e pump housing and gear. I am thinkin about making a homemade gen 3 and I'm having a hard time finding the housing. I have the pump already just need the other components

Well my buddy just so happened to have a t444e engine laying around. I bought the resivoir and gear from him for 100 bucks.

On a google search I did find a place selling the reservoir for 125 and the gear and powersteering pump for 50

What did you search to find the reservoir

T444e timing cover or front cover

And what about the gear. Sorry for all the questions

It will be with the power steering pump.

Is there any way to buy just the gear
