Before you do a berk swap, I'd tear into the Jacuzzi WJ and freshen it up. And see what's in there.
The WJ pump was the first pump too break 100 mph, way back in 1970 (or '71). A nearly stock WJ pump could handle 1500 hp (Hurry'Round Hondo)
Looks like you already have a diverter,
Just need a loader, shoe, and ride plate.
Otherwise, the dimensions of a berk are slightly larger than a WJ intake housing, and is a pretty straightforward swap, assuming you can set the intake. If doing the swap, now would be a good time to look into a set back pump, I don't know if that hull would benefit from a set back.
BTW, what hull mfg is it?
Just my $0.02

I talk to a few shops local in SoCal , they said it would be a project but I?ve wanted a set back pump and I have a berk complete just a regular 12 jc , so it probably wouldn?t benefit that much but it?s something I?ve always took an interest in and wanted to try it for myself , this hull is made by jemcraft it is a 73 southwind
