Any tips/tricks removing the existing bushing? Ideally without removing the intake manifold.

Is the bushing that comes with the hardened drive the same inner diameter as a stock drive bushing? If so, any need to replace if the stock is in good condition?

Any recommendations on a good oil pan gasket? And, a rear main seal. Figured I would replace that as well while I am at it since I have small leak.

Should I be concerned about potentially running the pan dry if I'm running 3k consistently? 4:10 gears has me in that range on a lot of roads down here.

Running 20w-50 thanks to Florida heat. The $60 price tag seems worth it for piece of mind. Especially since I'll be removing the distributor to prime anyways.

Checking back in to confirm that 72-S2 is the correct pick up for the stock pan and that IS-72 is the correct hardened drive for the HV pump.

Is the correct pick up tube for a Melling M-72HV the 72-S2? Also, for the hardened drive is IS-72 the correct one?

Any big risks running a high volume pump? I already have one laying around.

Replacing the oil pump on my LA360. Do I need to use the oil pump gasket included or not?

DM sent.

That's what I was thinking. What were the factory size torsion bars on a slant 6? Will need to measure to see if previous owner ever upgraded now that it has a 360. I don't want to raise the front height of vehicle in general since I like the way it sits with the rake along with the 1" drop leaf...

Looks like I have about 1 1/2" without a bump stop installed. Are there any "low profile" options that are recommended? Most I've seen are 1 3/8".

Does anyone know the height between LCA and frame where the bump stop is installed at factory ride height (68 Barracuda)? Need dims with and without bump stop installed. The setup I have currently rides pretty low and doesn't give me much room from what I am seeing.

looks like a solid option. In my case, looking for the easiest solution by pulling the carpet, slapping something down and hit the road.
