Either a Super Sport (CP, B1 Racing, Berkeley Pump) or if you can find one,  a GTH.

In your situation I would drill the rock grate mounting holes out to 5/16 and recountersink the holes to accept the larger counter sunk bolts and drill and tap the intake to 5/16 as well.

A loader is probably one of the biggest bang for your buck performance parts. I wouldn't waste my time with the rock grate, but the above option is the best way to fix what u have though.

Well said sir.

Rock grates are to keep 100% of the potatoes out of the pump,  unfortunately, they also keep out about 20% of the water.

Hi Folks. Long time no post. No boats anymore but getting the itch. I do however fix some stuff here and there. I did this to an intake when it was out of the boat. You can do it however on your back and be careful with the drill and tap. Yes 5/16-18 black oxides work well. I do however wonder if the "bumps" can be spot faced a little to gain more clearance for the oil pan. This will also allow you to put a captured safety nut on the top. I do not use nylock nuts for this situation. I use nuts that utilize deformation to utilize the locking set up. McMaster has these nuts.

Ok so getting anything flat and square on these intakes is a joke.



I tap on my mill and finish by hand with these drivers


Here is what I am talking about maybe spot facing these "bumps" down a litte and putting a lock nut on top for added security.



These are the bolts that I use.


Here is my jet pump intake Jig.
