Are you talking about the drive shaft hex size? If so then are you sure you are buying a 5.0 oil pump and not a 5.8 pump? The 5.8 uses a larger drive shaft.

I'm not sue from your posts what motor you are working on, are you saying you thought you had a 5.8 block but it's now looking like a 5.0?

bummer man, just an fyi a 5.8 dizzy and upper/lower efi intakes are not interchangable. neither is the oil pump so you have discovered.

hope the rest of the build goes smooth.
