all ford 4cl engines of that vintage have the same bell housing pattern mate 
there is a solenoid valve on the pump (shut off valve) this neeeds to be 12v live for it to run, other than that they will run with no external interferance. just a throttle cable and your away. Im sure you could replace the stop solenoid with a mechanical stop if this was going to be an issue.
