I forgot to mention, the bottom of this pump is exposed to the road in the Volvo's, and has that thick metal underside for that reason. I'd like to think it'll do ok mounted like I have it, as it's not much different than how it is in the Volvo's, fingers crossed, lol.

I'm in Colorado, I was under the impression that our emissions laws are very similar? I've not had any problems passing emissions with my modified intake here. But I do seem to recall Cali not liking car mods of any kind, even for reasons other than emissions, so maybe you'd have trouble?

Anyway, to answer your question, the pump measures about: 12"Tall x 4.5"wide a 5"wide. Maybe if you moved the washer bottle, it'd fit down there? Although, maybe the Dodge/Chrysler pump would fit better in that position? All I can say, is that either one of those pumps will work, and work well with the Rover steering gear, which was my major question when I embarked on this lil journey. Wasn't sure if it'd even work as I'd seen no-one else try it in a 4x4, just drift cars and hot rods. But, I can say now, that IMO, this works....very well

I’ll find the link and post it here for anyone looking to do the dodge pump as the controller is about $100 making it more inline with the Volvo pump cost wise

edit: link- https://reformmotorsports.com/produc...te-adjustment/ they also have a volvo controller

Ah yes but do volvos get driven like mine do off-road? I doubt it haha. MTs can really chuck some large rocks and would rather not tempt fate. The Dodge pump laying horizontal fits nicely in a D1 or RRC as there is room in front of air box for one since there is technically a second battery tray there or space for one. No such luck in D2s.
