What about this pump?

I need this spelled out for me. Noone is really aggreeing on one pump. What is the best all around oil pump that you would trust on a new 357 ci LT1? I was planning on using the stock oil pan but I can upgrade if need be.

I saw that one but it doesn't ship until the 22nd and I need one before then.

 

If I am not mistaken, that is the private label pump made by melling for GM and it might be the new casting. if you do a search on the 10%hv(10552) pump according to Brett Baur that pump should not suck the pan dry and it also comes with the hardend pump shaft.

 

Damn, thanks guys I'm glad I desided to check it instead of firing her up for the 1st time it was mighty tempting.

Oh and for the people asking ?'s about the HV pump I'm using a custom STEF'S oil pan so the HV works great for my application. If you don't mind spending the extra dough STEF'S are top notch. For stock use the standard (old design)w/ the white spring.

im getting totally confused now with all the oil pumps. which one is best to get? the NAL-12555884? MEL-10553 w/ white spring? It seems like everyone is saying NOT to go high volume because it will suck your pan dry. Instead keep it stand volume but high pressure right? correct me if im wrong. I have the M155HV which is both HV/HP, i guess i will ditch that one and get me a different one

 

It will suck the stock pan dry if you have an extra compacity pan then you are fine.

 

This is what I am trying to find out aswell??? I am waiting to hear confirmation on the (10% hv 10552)? Where is Mr. Baur?

 

I have decided to go with the M155 (stock replacement) and then pick up the white spring.

 

part# mel-10554
just add the high pressure spring
3/4" inlet. just like the mv155 but is the one you want.

comes with hardend oil pump shaft

 

What makes this one better? I have my HP M155 pump with the gm white spring sitting in front of me.

these pumps are like night and day.

 

Why the craze for HV pumps?

 

I got the Melling HV Oil pump and dont have any problems and im sure theres a diff in the pumps your talking about.

 

I just ordered the 10552 pump which is a 3/4 inlet for the pick up and 10% over the stock pump. Im wondering if I should have gone with the 10555 which is 25% over stock since I have a canton pan and the GN white spring? This is for a blown 383.

If you have a Canton pan there is no problem with the high volume pump. Only on the stock pans is there a problem.
