440hp Budget-Built Vortec Small-Block
It’s always a good idea to properly torque the oil-pump bolt on a small-block Chevy, especially when you’re using a high-volume pump that exerts added stress on the fastener. Our affordable Melling pump produced a stout 25 psi of oil pressure at idle and climbed to 65 psi by 3,000 rpm. Before you tack-weld the pickup to the pump body, remove the bypass spring and ensure the pickup is oriented correctly to the pan. View Related Article
