The Eagle pumps are better than the early pumps. The Hellcats are spose to be best for factory. Honestly, I would have no issue re-using the factory Eagle pump. If low mileage, that is. Good oil and a little higher idle RPM are a good idea.
Engine had I was told 140k on it, however judging by cylinder wear it was in excellent shape in the short block. Factory pump seems to be in good working order, almost no perceivable play in the mating drive wheel inside the housing. Though in the long term, saving $180 or so for the hellcat pump seems to make me feel like a cheapskate…. :-/
Thanks for the help bud, appreciate the time and info.
