This is the list of parts I used when I had stock 8 quart oil pans on a HP500 Gen VI:

Oil pump Melling #M-77HV Oil pump screen Melling #241S
Oil pump drive Melling #IS77

Be sure to have the oil pump pick up welded by someone who knows what rod to use on cast. A high nickel content is needed or it WILL fall off.

The 2 pans are the same depth, so they can use the same p/u. The 8 quart pan just has a longer sump. They are both about 8" deep. Be sure to check the depth with playdoh, clay or putty. Put a paper towel or rag over the p/u so the playdoh doesn't get in the p/u screen. Put the pan on without a gasket and compress the playdoh. You should have about 3/8".

I thought they were the same too... they are not, at least my old ones wern't I mocked it with my old pumps and P/U and not even close! I think my old pans were 7" deep, these are 8.5 deep. I use play dough in a plastic bag to check.

This is the p/u I use on Gen VI 8 quart pans. I never thought about putting the playdoh in a bag. I think I might steal your idea
