Default Oil Pump for 408

I am building a 402/408(haven't decided on that part yet), what is a good Oil Pump. I was thinking of a Melling, or a ported LS6 one. I can get a L92 Truck Oil Pump off of one of then new L92 Engines, would this one be a good one also..

The Melling high volume pump is a good choice.

Will that suck the Pan dry, the Melling HV for the LT1's tends to do that..

Havn't had a issue with it sucking the pan dry, part number 10296 is the performace pump. If you want to run double roller i'd advise going with SLP oil pump as its a Melling that a machine shop does the clearancing work.

Rollmaster single row timing sets we sell come with a Jwis timing chain, quality.

I went with the QTP and their 2 piece timing chain cover. Works like a champ
