I've got a dry sump pump setup very similar to that engine, and I've stared at it many times wondering if there was room for an A/C compressor somewhere, and now I know that it can be made to work. I believe Roush uses the Billet Specialties FEAD system. It almost looks like it doesn't interfere at all.
Oh yeah, I see, their pump is mounted lower on the block than mine, I am actually using the lowermost timing cover bolt hole for the pivot point which is why I can't fit a normal tensioner in there. Still, its helpful to see how the drivers side stuff is mounted.
If you have any closeup photos of how the oil pump mounts I'd love to see them.
Anyway that motor looks totally boss !
