Melling makes them and I have one that I am not going to use. The screen bolts on the pump which is different than a regular pump. I have rebuilt a good many SBC's in my life but never a small block Olds. I started doing research (got me to this website) about the Olds engine. One of the stories I got from somebody I trust is to not use the high volume pump in an Olds. It was the same story about sucking the pan dry. I have read that in one other place also. So now I have a new regular pump for my 350. I will have to get a Toronado pickup since I am going to use a Toronado oil pan. The small block Olds is different and one of the best things you can do is to listen to people that have built them. Of course you may get a few differing opinions.
My engine will be for street use only and it might have never mattered but I am glad I found it out.
