I donk know the answer but I've asked same question and was told the rod side clearance plays a major role in determining pump capacity.

I've searched for hours regarding this. I just want to be sure I get it right

 

Your bearing clearances are not loose. You are using 351 rods so the side clearance should be close to stock. I have the same setup with a std pump. Get an ARP oil drive shaft and drill the oil galley plug .030 to provide good oil to the cam gear. Also dont turn over 6500 rpms. A hv pump wont let you rev higher before the main caps start walking. Also a stud girdle wont help it either. Get a good oil pan and set the pick up 1/4" from the bottom of the pan and you will be good to go.

Never know the width of the crank journals. Some cranks you will end up with .025-.030 side to side, others .010 or less.

20520 pan and pickup, M83 and move on

 

Thank you guys. I just wanted to be sure the M83 would supply enough. Woody, what brand pan is that?

 

moroso with billet end seals

 

I pm'd you over the weekend, dunno if you got it. Will this pan fit the sn95 k member?

 

I like the canton pans - never had issues getting them to seal. I've had more problems with budget priced fabricated pans (i.e. the above mentioned moroso) with oil leaks around the rear main cap. Liberal RTV use is mandatory with these pans even if they appear to trial fit ok. Very little issues so far with the pans built from stock sheet metal cores, unless they were cheap knockoffs.

 

Ive had to use RTV on the canton pan to get it to seal also. The only reason i was leery of moroso was that ive bought tools from them that i wasnt overly impressed with the quality. The billet end rail is a great selling point to me and i will give them a shot. I am not really super impressed with the quality of the canton stuff either. These days, it seems like most companies dont care about building quality parts that fit.

 

The moroso and canton pans Ive looked at are both the same price

 

For those of you that think so highly of the Canton pan, this wa a brand new out of the box pan......

 

I am running an hv oil pump, not getting enough psi about 50 want 60psi. Going supercharger has any one ran a titan? maybe an external oil pump? Thanks for any help. Just finished geting the engine dyno.
