Hi all, its been a few years, but I am back rebuilding my race motor. Question I have is should I use the standard Melling 72 or the HV oil pump? My previous 410 had the M72HV pump in it, but I found out after building it that I may not need it and it was a waste of power....so here is the build in question that will be going together in the next few weeks (all parts are on the way except the oil pump).
360 LA block (0.030 over), 4.00 Scat forged crank, Scat I-beams, forged pistons, ~13:1 compression
Ported Edelbrocks, Hughes solid cam 264/268 @ 0.05, Victor intake, home built e85 carb
I don't expect to be revving it past 6500 RPM very often. The previous motor went 10.5's with a small roller cam and 10.8:1 compression, I'm hoping this will do a little better (10.3-10.2).
