Here is a picture of the Ford fitting attach area.
Note the strap to hold the stack together. Also not the 1/8 thick plate that the
fitting is attached to. Looks like this may have been a fix for a design problem
with the other cores.
On a cautionary note, the pressures seen by an evap
core are with a compressible gas in the system. All the pressure fluctuations
would tend to be "soft". Oil is not compressible and any pressure fluctuations
would be more like hammer blows. Definitely I would run an accumulator after the
pump to damp the pressure fluctuations and use one of the cores with a more
robust construction and the tension strap. If you insist on being adventurous.
As to the Mazda pump being somehow worse than
normal. A ford pump is a gerotor style just like a Mazda. The only
difference is the pressures are much lower 60 psi or so vs. 100 for the Mazda.
I may run an accumulator with my Earls or Fluidyne
just to be on the safe side. One big advantage of having the heat exchangers out
of the engine compartment is if I do have a failure it poses little fire
risk.
