Merc 454 oil pickup help needed
Hi Guys,
First post here, been lurkin for a while and bought some heads of a member awhile ago.
I got a mercruiser 8 quart alum oil pan to put on a 454 i'm building for my Wahoo 26.
Using the melling hi vol pump.
Mercruiser pickup is part# 809772T and $40.00
Problem is I can't find one and don't want to pay $40 ;-)
Does anyone know a cross ref part that I can use instead.
I'd rather get a $8 moroso pickup if it will fit.
Thanks, in advance.
PJ

Look at post 132 on this tread.it might help.
Becareful I wouldnt skimp on that part of the motor,Ive seen to many fall off and dunp azz's not weld the on right. Hey just stay home one weekend and put that money in a good pick up
Is it a stock motor if so you reallly dont want a HV

Re: Merc 454 oil pickup help needed
The block is a '88 454, .30 over, stock crank and rods. Pickup will be welded to the pump.
I have added roller cam, roller lifters and roller rockers. That's why the Hi-Vol. '99 Gen5 heads with my special pocket port. Crane springs, retainers, Low rise intake (I got no room under the doghouse), Quadrahog, ya-ti ya ya.
Should make around 400 horse @ 6000
Plenty for my 26" center console Fishing boat. She weighs in fully loaded at 9000 LBS. Should give me 29 MPH@ 3600 rpm burning 17 GPH. Perfect for those 30 mile runs to the sword grounds.
Not as fast as most of you guys but it does the job.
I will measure the depth of the pan tomorrow.
