    I think your going to need to glass in the intake area, and then cut it out for the Berkeley intake. Try finding a tread on set-back pumps, the process is very much the same, except you are making the hole narrower. You might find some one on the boards near you that may be of help to you also. good luck

    I hope some of the experts can chime in, because I am looking at doing the same thing. I have a YJ and want to change it and set the pump back.

    Bang on HammerDowns door, he did a setback a couple years back. I now he posted pictures on Banderlog, that was well before the server crashed so they are lost, on that site, but he may still have the info you seek.

    Ive done a setback, but like mentioned above, if you are not competent with glass, you might want to consider having the glassing done by a pro.
    I dont know the measurements of the YJ intake. If it is smaller than the pump you are replacing it with then it will be easy, othrewise you want to pull the intake out, glass the hole up, and cut a new hole out of that. When you are ready to set the intake lemme know and Ill let you know some pointers I learned from installing mine.
