I'm also planning to use the M-19 pumps again in two '36 LB insert mains engines I'm putting back together. I would not recommend using a Mellings type M-15, high volume/high pressure oil pump unless you are building a racing engine with greater than normal bearing clearances.

Thanks for this. Will the M19 pump and the truck pickup fit a stock 36 oil pan?
