Robert, Ive raced for several years and have never done anymore than screw the pickup in on any of my BB motors leaving an 1/8th inch space I might add. My 66 dart consistently went into the low 9's. If it makes you feel more secure you can put a tack weld on it. If your not romping at the track 450 times a season don't worry about it. Just the advice of a lowly BSEE!

WoW! You might have mentioned the circle track part. I would think welding would be mandatory on your pictured set up. Did you make a pan? I wounder if you might have an issue with Cavitation because of the extreme 90's? Perhaps Challenger1 has a great idea for your application. Go drysump. I hope it works out for you

Yeah I'm not real comfortable with that thick wall stuff either. If you have a brand/part # for some thin wall material I'm all ears! The pump is tapped for 1/2 NPT so it'd have to work with that size

OMG - my concerns re vibration just quadrupled. You need to build this using 1/2 inch flex copper brazed to a pickup on one end, and a compression fitting to a male adapter on the other end. If rug up a bracket of some kind to the pump body to lock the compression fitting down and provide support tool. Astrobuf
So, are you really a Rocket Scientist?

canton or champ ,steffs is a great custom mfg check with them for tubing.. which/what pan do you have. you should be able to get a matching pickup for it. if the pump is drilled for 1/2 " , you should be able to get one in 1/2" or you will have to adapt it down to fit the matching pickup.

The pump is tapped for 1/2 pipe. I do not want to neck it down. I'm using a 392 pan which is a common "center" sump but more toward the front. I do have a std vol pump/matching pickup (for that pan) but I want (need) the hi vol pump tapped for 1/2 along with the other oiling mods. I will see what Steffs has. Thank you!
