Ok well I am doing a 350 lt1 build. Going to be spinning close to 7k. Mostly street driven. But will see ocasional hard track days (1/4 mile, not road race). I would like some input on what I should do for an oil pan and oil pump. Part #'s would be great along with your opinion. I will be using long tube headers and possibly a tubular k member. If any more info is needed let me know.

 

The Canton pan works for me.

make sure to get some good rod bolts for that rpm

 

I also run the canton pan. You have to shim the motor mounts a little bit though to get the pan to clear the rack. As far as pumps Im running the meiling high volume unit. I would stay away from the m55 as they have a weak cast. Never seen one personally fail just piece of mind.

 

Building on with what 94TEALz stated, I suggest the Melling 10554 select-series pump. It uses a thicker casting and is more robust. The 10552 is the 10% overdrive equivalent.

I'm using the 10552 and the Canton 242T on a 383.

 

Budget may be tighter then planned. Would a pump like this be fine with the stock pan or is it a bit too much? I may still be getting an aftermarket pan but just incase I dont I want to have as much info as I can up front.

 

The 10554 would be fine - the 10552 needs to be used with an aftermarket pan.

 

So if I were to use the stock pan what oil pump should I use? Just plain ole stock?

 

Yes. Mine ran (many times) over 140mph in the 1/4 with a stock pump and pan.
