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.

I guess you never used a 10778c melling pump..I bet if you saw how much better it was made you would change your mind..

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

Bringing this back. I'm building a 496 stroker with stock oil pan (Gen V) and windage tray. Would the melling 10778 be appropriate for said application? No I don't want a aftermarket 14 quart pan and I'm using a large oil cooler. Thx
