i dont think there is anything wrong with the pumpbullitstang1313 said:Did you check the pump to see what was wrong? My buddy turned an oil pump drive shaft into what looked like an easy out. His new melling oil pump had a piece of debris in it from the factory so it locked up and twisted his shaft off. Replaced the pump and used an ARP shaft, no problems the second time around.
where can i get the FRPP one?Rick 91GT said:The ARP sahft is usually fine, just check to make sure you have proper clearance with your dist.
OR
Just use a Ford Racing shaft that has more relieved areas on both ends.
whats it matter if im not running a high volume pump? Sure it would be extra insurance but The pan i have is fine and has oil pressure has never been a problem! If it wasnt getting oiled properly before dont you think it would have blown at 6000rpms on nitrous lol?1991vert said:you dont have a 7qt pan? if you spent the money on a stroker kit, might as well make sure it gets oiled properly to protect your investment
Modular2v said:the way i see it is when my block splits my investment is gone anway lol pan or no pan
Im not saying that your wrong, i just really have never given it much consideration1991vert said:haha true. i dunno it seems like most people who go with strokers end up buying an aftermarket pan. maybe it's because they think it looks cool... i dunno haha
kind of what i was thinking. . . i dont know how much power the car will be making NA after the heads. I bet it will be close to the 400 mark though89white50 said:for a street car there is no need for the windage tray. you may pick up like 3hp at hig rpms...it's a waste IMO, as is the bigger pan for a street driven 331.
I could see if you are trying to squeeze like 425+rwhp NA out of this thing with a Dart block, but cmon.
very nice, any work done to them? Im either switching to those, Im looking at the fox lake stage 2 ported TW 185's or..... Stage 2 canfields!Modular2v said:A set of trick flow twisted wedges. . .

Actually last year i believe MMFF mag dis a test to show how much hp a windage tray is worth. To simulate they put 4 quarts of oil in a factory pan instaed of 5. I believe the number was 6 RWHP. Windage trays are not just for auto cross cars. In fact older mopar muscle cars which i'm sure you all know were built for drag racing and pretty much that alone came with factory installed windage trays on there big blocks. I doubt the factory would have wasted there time with these components if they weren't going to give a bit of an edge to there vehicles. For how cheap a windage tray is i'm surprised not everyone installs one if they have there engine out.
