I am looking for SPECIFIC design information for ram pumps.  All of 
my internet searches turn up general information or designs for 
particular ram pumps, but they do not give me the information I need 
to design and build a pump customized to my situation.  I see 2 books 
listed on this site:
A Manual on the Hydraulic Ram for Pumping Water  
author S.B. Watt 

Hydraulic rams - a comparative investigation  
author J. Tacke 

Can anyone recommend either of these for my needs?

My particulars are:

Drive head=7 feet
drive volume= 500 gpm
delivery head= 75 feet
delivery pipe (now in place)= 500 feet of 2 inch pvc

I want to get maximum delivery from this.  I am assuming, perhaps 
wrongly, that ram pump will be the best method but perhaps there are 
more efficient ways to harness this power for pumping water.
