Which part? GT500 pump w/billet gears or the 420 hp on stock fuel system?

 

[SUHleen]

The GT500 oil pump with the billet gears.

That's what you're getting.

 

[SUHleen]

That's what you're getting.

Hahaha nice. I thought it was the stock 3v oil pump with the billet gears.

You're the man SD

Does the pick-up tube that comes with the GT500 oil pump work with the stock 4.6 pan?

 

[US-1]

Yes

 

[MickeySaleen]

billet gears are damn expensive...they are worth it, correct?

 

[US-1]

Depends on the value you place on your engine.

I have the same feeling.

A few things !

If you don't get your heads done thats fine but at least get some bronze guides @ new seals with a good valve job . It looks like your going to be pushing 18-20 psi I would take a good hard look at the exhaust valve stems they look like there pretty thin ( I don't know if you would have a problem with them or not ...maybe some one with more valve experience can chime in ?).

I will tell you I'm a flat out hater on that meth spray crap , you can talk to the best 4.6 mod guys and they will tell you to ditch it ! ........ Over the last fifteen years I seen to many failures with the pumps,nozzles, black box brain in these kits causing catastrophic engine failures on high HP motors it just takes one brain fart and motors are shit , even if your using C-16 ,front mount inter cooler and someone that knows how to tune ! (just something to think about .


It good to see you kept your compression at 9.5.1 .....I always ran 10.1 with twenty psi and C-16 and never had a problem (with all supporting mods ).


It looks like a good motor build with the right parts ...good luck !

Do you all have any recommendations on what blow off valve to use? I was running a forge dump valve but I don't think it will handle the volume from ~20psi of boost.

 

[ChevyKiller]

I have the same feeling.

ditto...

 

[US-1]

6mm....what's the problem? Anyone pushing that much boost should have bronze guides and stainless valves anyway.

Thanks to JPC for the beautiful intake and Tom with Hurricane Performance for the awesome deal on the BMR K-Member and A-Arms.

I worked for a little while yesterday and got the k-member and a-arms put on. Just have to torque down the steering rack today. Having the engine out makes it a breeze...you can just sit up in the engine compartment.
