Yes, the opening isn't big enough and you will need to do some grinding,
but not a lot. It'll take some time, but just grind the carrier, test
fit, and regrind as necessary. Also, if you are doing the full flow the
proper way (by plugging the pump output and tapping into the upper
galley) you will also need to grind a hole into the front face of the
aluminum fan housing to clearance the fitting. The opening can be
sealed with silicone sealer or, if you're feeling adventurous, a piece
of aluminum welded over it.
Congrates! You've entered the Custom Type III Initiation Gauntlet...

Subject: T3 full-flow problems? HELP!

...after wrenching around on my '71 this morning, I now fully
understand what is meant in the Berg catalog when it says "rear mount
models may require mount modification." Uh-oh! The rear engine carrier
looks like it *totally* blocks the oil pump cover. HELP!!! Is it a simple
matter of having a big hole drilled in the rear engine carrier (hmmm...
safe?) ...or is this some kind of major engine carrier redesign problem?
Anybody know?!? Who has a full-flow kit on their IRS Type III?
How did you do it?
