WTB.... oil pump pickup
« on: March 11, 2016, 03:27:17 PM »
I'm looking for an oil pump pickup for a rear sump FoMoCo 4x4 FE pan. The Melling 57-S3 is discontinued I guess. Thanks guys.

I found that a Canton 16-871 fits great with a couple of thumps with a hammer and block of wood, as well as a little trimming of the stock pan baffle.

That's whats in my 445, stock 1971 4x4 pan

Thanks for the P/N Ross. I knew a workable alternative to the factory piece had to be available. But still looking for a FoMoCo tube.
