Quote:

ive seen some oil pumps where the stock hole is plugged and a tube is fabbed into the cover. is there a problem with this? it seems that opening up the passages in the block is pointless unless the pickup tube is also enlarged, and the lack of material on the pump housing is the limiting factor. any experience, good or bad?




You can buy the pickup from Canton that bolts to the pump as the cover. It's 5/8 and that's what you need. You can modify it from there to fit you pan.
