I've read that a high volume pump is bad news for a stock 455. I've got a milodon 7 quart pan and the high volume pump and pick-up that go with it. After reading the horror stories, I figured I would attach the milodon extended pick-up to a stock style pump, and run a high capacity pan without concerns of ever running out of oil.
Today I pulled the old pan and noticed the extended pick-up will not fit a stock style pump.
My question is:
Can I run the milodon high volume pump and 7 quart pan with a near stock '71 455? I don't expect to run the motor above 5000 RPM (5500max) as it is not built to run any higher. My highway cruise RPM will be about 2500RPM.
Thanks.
