Default Re: Oil pump pickup - tack weld or don't weld

You can mig weld them and I have never had one break at that weld. All the way around.

You can also buy some with a flange that bolts on and also a screw on type.

Canton and Melling have a lot of options....

Dragsters have the reputation for doing great damage to oil pumps and pickups and they do break them. Tire shake on a burnout is what does it.

I broke a pump in half at the neck area on a BB from tire shake.
Seen it happen to others......At the very least a sheet metal brace from the pump body down to a main cap is whats needed. Or a billet pump....
