Oil Pick Up Part # for 454 gen IV mag (have the melling oil pump already) Thx
So the one part I did not get advice from on here is a new oil pick up. 454 magnum gen IV stock with a melling M77 oil pump. Just went to set the pick up I bought and it is obviously the wrong one (melling 305s). Would anyone happen to know the correct number for my application? Thanks!

If everything is stock, including the oil pan, this is what you need:
Melling 241S Melling Select Oil Pumps & Pickups
Make sure you set the pickup-to-pan clearance correctly (around 3/8 inch), and best practice is to braze the pickup to the pump body with the cover and gears removed. Be careful about applying too much heat all at once - braze it a little at a time if possible. It is possible to warp the housing.
