This is the oil pump pick-up that came with the oil pan. It's made special to fit in the bottom of the pan. Notice the two holes. These are used to fasten the pick-up to the oil pump so it doesn't come loose. If this were to ever come loose, by by engine so let's hope it stays in place. 
 

 

 

I'm using a high volume oil pump made by Melling. For just a few more dollars, this is a good investment.
 

 

 

This is the oil pump and the oil pump shaft. It's not much to look at but should this piece ever stop working....well let's not talk about that.
 

 

 

ARP makes just about anything in fasteners and the oil pump is no exception. Just screw the coarse thread in the rear main cap (the other end takes a hex key on the end of the stud) and your ready to bolt on the pump. You have to check the distance between the oil pump pick-up and oil pan to make sure it isn't to far away or to close. About .100" to .200" of clearance should do just fine. Don't for get to install the oil pan gaskets and then check or you might end up with to much clearance.
