SBC oil pump recommedation
I had the oil pump break off at the base in my SBC 350 Super stock engine at the Gators last week during a run. scored up the crank and some bearings. didn't actually spin the bearings luckily. I had a Melling oil pump in the engine. What are some of you using for oil pumps. I am thinking about some sort of billet pump to replace the cast iron one that failed. Thanks,

Stewart oil pump, no worries, less H.P. to operate.

Schumann makes a nice pump. The next step up, what I'm switching to, is a Clay Valley Racing pump. They have a cover that has the pick up built in, just measure your pan. Their pump also has a wear plate between the gears and the cover, so if it gets scored, you can replace it, and not the whole pump.

Mike, I'm sorry, but I don't know which casting Larry uses. Mine is in the engine, in the car, so I can't check. Larry would tell you. He is a good guy.

melling M-55A is heavier casting, m55 and m55hv have lighter castings,some things that will break pump are cavitation most of time pickup too close or far away from pan,or oil getting away from pickup or lack of oil, out of balance or vibration from driveline, oil pump shaft rubbing block some blocks need hole opened up or shaft that is undercut, some dart blocks need drilling for clearance around oil pump shaft.
