My oil pressure is really really low. And i figure at 131,000 miles its time for a change. WHats a good street pump to put in my car. I am going to do some modding to it, mass air cam heads, intake. So i was thinking a high flow. Anyone have one that they have and like? Is it really hard to install? My car is a 87 gt.

Oil pump

A Melling M68 is a good stock replacement if you feel you need a high volume then get the M68HV but make sure you buy a hardened steel oil pump drive shaft from ARP or FRRP either way you go . I twisted one before and it isnt any fun .

The double-hump oil pan is a PIA!!! You'll probably have to disconnect the engine from the mounts and jack it up!! PIA!!
