The power steering pump isn't much larger than your oil pump, and it has a relief valve. Water pumps do not build up excessive pressure are commonly run off of motors no larger than the one on your hand drill. And an alternator no problem either, they test those with 1/3HP motors running them.
Where is this 54HP supposedly going?
