| use the later fe oil filter adaptor,and right gasket,i smooth out the pad on the block to match,to cut down the sharp bends,you can ream out the pad to oilpump,pad to cam bearing to 7/16,1/2"and then i matcth the delivery hole to the main bearing hole in the block,just smooth them don't ream them,will cause some oil,pressure,delivery probs,i never had any probs with the high volume pumps,all my engines run them,but there is a diffrent school of thought here,the small block ford standard pump,used approx the same impeller size as the high volume fe pump.and stay away from aluminum bodied pumps,had seen them chafe the dump valve bore and the valve get stuck,blow up filters or hardly any pressure at any rpm,experienced on that problem,never spun a bearing,or had oiling probswith these mods,ps if you use tapped plugs,make sure you block plate has the holes to clear,or drill it to clear the new plugs,und if the block is openend that much,i tapped the liters oil supply holes so that i can convert to solid with out taking the engine apart to clear the shavings after tapping the oil holes,walt |
