I know you can pull an Enderle 110 pump with a belt drive off the crank, any bigger i doubt if you can, but that's big enough for most blown alcohol engines unless you plan to dump a some nitro in it.
On the lighter side a person from Finland bought some parts from Jimmy Smith while he was visiting in the USA a couple yrs. ago. when he got back he sent a bottle of Minttu Snapps, man that stuff is stout, i still have 3/4 of the bottle left. If you get your motor to run as strong as that stuff, it'll be killer for sure.

I have no idea about the distributor yet was hoping a low profile would fit in the stock location I will probably use a crank trigger. I got hold off a Jesel guy and he told me it's ok to run the pump on the cam with the belt drive. So you don't like Minttu snapps if you have 3/4left... if you have not tried it put it in the freezer and keep it there a couple off days and then drink it! (it's good).
I was hoping it would be a killer and make over 1000hp...
Mallory makes a short distributor, it measures 4.75 tall from the bottom of the mounting flange to the top of the cap. You would have to measure the distance from the bottom of the blower to the flange on the manifold. It wouldn't clear on my sm/blk 1471 blown engine with Buzzard catcher, because the manifold is too short, it may on a b/blk though. The distributor in on the second page.

I do have the Snapps in the frig. it's just 1 shot is plenty, didn't say i didn't like, it it's just stout.
On the other and i don't see how your motor could not make a 1,000 HP.
