So, if you would please, educate me about oil pumps. I notice my shortblock did not come with one. I went on Summit last night to do a little shopping, and got a little overwhelmed. My engine will make something in the neighborhood of 300 horsepower. 350 at the VERY most. Do I need a high volume oil pump? What are the advantages? Do I have to then put more oil in when I do oil changes?
I was looking at the ARP oil pump shaft. Seems like a good thing, but down below it says "For use with high volume pump: YES", does that mean it won't fit in a standard volume pump? Or is that just a strength thing?
Is a new pickup a good idea? I know Summit has its issues with getting application right, and most just say they are for an SBF. Is there any danger I'd end up with one for a single sump pan vs. the Fox dual sump pan?
Thanks!
