[DeTomaso] High Volume Oil Pump?

[Mark McWhinney]

You are fine with the stock pump.  Besides, higher volume or higher pressure
pumps won't do anything to overcome the Cleveland's oiling issues.

That said, I have been running a HV pump for several years without
destroying things, as some might suggest.  (Yeah, I am tempting fate with
that public statement.)

Subject: [DeTomaso] High Volume Oil Pump?

I'm in the process of installing the Armando oil pan and found a new stock 
OEM oil pump on my motor...my oil pressure stays around 40-50 when warm. 
Motor was rebuilt by previous owner and has less than 50 miles since the 
rebuild (new bearings, balanced, decked, bored 30 over, 9.5 compression, 
headers, .510 lift hydraulic cam, 72 CJ or HO motor).  Since I intend on 
doing some track days (but mostly street driving on the weekends) I was 
considering installing a high volume pump while the pan is off...?  Anyone 
have comments?

Best regards,

Tom Borcich
