STICK WITH THE STOCK PUMP!!
I BUILD A 5.0 STOCK BOTTOM END AND ALL THE HOLLEY STUFF ON TOP. I INSTALLED A HV MELLING
OIL PUMP. WHEN I CRANKED THE ENGINE I HAD 95 LBS OF
OIL PRESSURE. DROVE THE COBRA FOR A FEW HUNDRED MILES. ONE DAY I WAS SHOWING MY BROTHER WHAT THE OLD COBRA WOULD DO AND BLEW THE O RING ON THE
OIL FILTER. TWO AND ONE HALF QTS OF OIL ON THE MOTOR , WINDSHIELD AND MY HAIR, SOME ON HIS WHITE SHIRT. I CALLED FORD MOTORSPORT AND THE TEC TOLD ME NO ONE SHOULD USE A HIGH VOLUME PUMP ON A MOTOR WITH STOCK ( TIGHT) CLEARANCE. HE SAID HV PUMPS SHOULD BE USED ON OLD MOTOR ( WORE OUT) OR RACE ENGINES WITH LOOSE CLEARANCES. I CHANGED TO A STOCK VOLUME MELLING PUMP. PRESSURE IS NOW 55 TO 60.
