HI FLOW OIL PUMP PICKUP MODIFICATION

[1970S2]

Finally got to modify my oil pump pickup, the pump  housing on the right , first photo, is the stock pump, one on left is the high volume pump housing , as you can see the pickup is too high in the pan aprox 1  1/2 inches ,  had to cut the pickup and install an extension , getting all the bits ready to assemble the the motor

Good info. What is the reason for the hi flow?  Did you have oil pressure problems or is this a high HP build?

This is a HP build, High compression pistons, 10:5 to 1 , hp camshaft, lightened flywheel, twin 40mm side draft webbers, should dyno out at 135HP, for the small cost I opted for a High volume pump, I needed a new pump anyway, the difference is the diameter of the pickup is 1/4 inch larger, and the length of the pump and housing is 1/4 longer, I'll  post pictures soon of the 2...cheers
