was for a BBC They (milodon) told me they haven't released their own bbc pump yet that melling was the only ones who made a casting for a long time. Their website is misleading..cause they have a big picture of their small block pump and the casting says Milodon...so I just assumed they made their own pumps. Not the big blocks.

Don't know about you, but I put new pumps on my motor every time I put new bearings in it. Cheap insurance.
I figure over the years, I've spent about 1k in oil pumps (at around 100.00 a shot).
So now, instead of continuing, I bucked up and bought a 400.00 pump that I can send back to Titan for freshening at the end of every season. It's more expensive up front, but it's cheaper in the long run.

I put in a Melling M-Select Oil pump it was $62 I think and has a bolt on pickup and seems to be alot better piece than the regular ones. It is a 70Lb pump with 10% more volume. The part number is 10552..

They all have PM gears, Melling, Moroso, Milodon, including the Melling Select pumps. CVR and Titan pumps are the only ones currently using steel gears, except Moroso's gerotor pump. They all buy from Melling except for CVR and Titan. Don't waste your money.

I dont like the idea of Powdered metal gears at all myself .. but have to ask ... If they make Connecting Rods that way, why wouldnt an oil pump gear work out ?
I have heard about and seen the newer main bodies crack or break. But I havent heard or seen anything about the gears breaking.
Has anyone else seen / heard differantly ?
