I'm thinking about using an oil pump off a 383/400/440. The oil pump includes the spin on oil filter mount. I'm thinking I can just submerge the whole thing in the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket and drive it with a hex rod inserted through a hole in the lid. I'm thinking I'll fit some kind of pipe over the snout with the hex drive inside the pipe.
I need to figure out what kind of motor to drive it with and how to mount it on the end of the pipe. I think it needs to be something with a gear reduction, like maybe a drill. But drills are noisy and they have brushes and make sparks. I was thinking maybe a wiper motor, but with the worm drive, I think they run about 60 rpm, which seems like it might be too slow. An AC motor would be simpler. Any ideas?
