Final thing to consider is actually using the Magnum PS pump, or at least the reservoir porion. The return line is situated in a way that provides more clearance to the head than the LA pump does. You can see how the hose runs on the previous photo of the backs of the pumps, and you can see how close the LA return line gets to the head here:



The LA return line is so close to the head you can't have clamps on the line, OR, you can't remove the clamps without pulling the pump. The Mag should solve that.
