Default Re: Oil pump rebuilder

Yes, IF you use the 8BA style pump, for the 36 you will have to modify the oil pick-up AS well as cut the baffle in the oil pan and remove the cup in the bottom of the pan from the old style oil pump. "IF" you are so interested....I first measured the depth of my pan and made a "go no go" template so once I cut the oil pick up I could measure just how much needed to be removed and cleared everything that it needed to clear. Once I cut the required amount out to the supply side side of the tube, I used that piece that i cut out to TIG weld on the underside of the on the pick up tube side to get the pickup closer to the bottom of the pan/Screen than stock. Once I had the pick up TIG welded up, I made a template of the block where the pump bolts up and used that to mount the oil pump into the pan. That gave me where I needed to cut the baffle to accomadate the large pick-up bell of the tube. Then I cut the baffle and bolted all of into the pan, this also allowed me to make sure I had proper distance between the bottom of the pan and the bottom of the pickup bell. There you have it in a nut shell.
