Rick,
While the engine is out I installed a Mellings M57HV high volume
oil pump, which replaced the stock Mellings pump. My Cobra will probably not see any track or strip time-just some normal fun on the roads. It is a stock P.I. engine with the CJ cam and hydraulic lifters. No screamer, just fun to drive. I had to have an FE in my Cobra or to me, it would not be a Cobra. I have no idea which spring is in the new Mellings pump and I am not sure how to figure it out.
The windage tray worked fine with the stock pan for clearances, so it will be fine with the Canton. The purpose of the new 7 qt. Canton pan was to add
oil to help starvation. From what I read it is actually an 8 qt. pan if you count the filter (Canton 15-820). One of the next things on the list is to add the
oil cooler, which I guess means more total oil. I am trying to figure out how to mount the oil cooler and build a shroud for it as well as do the plumbing correctly. Currently all I have it the remote filter in use.
Thanks again for all help.
Martin
