Also, you mentioned the guys at the local boat shop talk about the "Heavy Duty" oil pump.

GM calls the #3969870 oil pump the "Heavy Duty" oil pump.

Wink No Brainer!

We have built many engines in our shop in the last 10 years and the 10778 series Melling Select oil pumps are the only ones we use. NO Problems, No Failures and NO Unhappy Customers, take it for what its worth use that pump!

Best Regards,
Ray @ Raylar
