Re: oil pump
Update: The guy that built the motor installed the gear on the cam that runs the oil pump
backwards. Surprised I had oil pressure to start at all. Not good.

Re: oil pump
The engine builder won`t get to my motor till February. I`ll post what he finds in case this happens to anyone else.

Re: oil pump
Ya it sucks. It`s in a 29 roadster and I was about to send it to the upholstery shop. I have to take it out very carefully.

Re: oil pump
Thanks for all the advice. I have a feeling it`s the knock off pump you described as he bought a lot of parts from Speedway. Pulling the motor the next day or two and bringing it to a reputable shop...

Re: oil pump
I have another flathead motor and the lines are in the same location. The return line is actually in the block above the oil pan.

Re: oil pump
Bored and stroked, I was surprized to find how dirty the oil was after not even five minutes of run time ,if that. The old builder had to miss something,to bad he passed away last year.

Re: T5 clutch fork
It`s a brand/company. They make them to adapt just about anything. Look on Jegs or Summitt,Speedway also. It`s exactly the same depth as the original truck bellhousing on the 53 F100.
