351w oil pump intermediate shaft? FMS or Melling

[HotWheels]

Figured since I'm puling the pan and have put a High Volumn oil pump in I'd replace the pump drive shaft. Should I use a Ford Motor Sports or Melling? What do u guys think?

 

[broncnaz]

I used an ARP drive for mine I think the ford motorsports is the same I dont know about melling but as long as its the heavy duty type Id say your good

I am using the Melling HV pump and I am using the Melling drive. No problems and 4K miles.

I've got the Ford Motor Sports one coming....figured if Fordmade it it would be good. I think my current one may not be straight...I will know Friday.

Anything is better then stock. My 351 runs a motorsports, the stroker 302 (non-bronco project) is getting an ARP. They are both running Melling pumps, HV and standard.

thanx for the info...I take it Melling is pretty good? I have their HV pump myself...

 

[73stallion]

no, i don't have paypal, so i guess you could send a check. melling makes a good pump, i've run them. i just don't see the need for a hv in my rig. i'll pm you my mailing address.

 

[HotWheels]

Make sure the HV pump clears the 351 pan. I had to do some grinding on the pump to make it fit. Some of the ford pump drive shafts vary in length. I run A dui dist and they recommend an aftermarket pump shaft cause the stock ones tend to be too long.

I gotta say Schuck's did good. Didn't even ask for a receipt, just handed me a new Milling HV.

 

[73stallion]

cool, they're pretty good about that (especially since i have a commercial acount there). so, you interested in that oil pump drive now?

 

[HotWheels]

no i want to install my pump tomorrow and start it saturday. thanx for the offer though.
